Finding Bug Boxes for our Insect Collection

We recently found 198 insects on an impromptu bug hunt at Indiana Dunes Beach. Now I need a place to store them. I found these amazing microphone storage cases at Goodwill for $2.00 each. They close to a perfect seal (so no flies or tiny bugs can get in.) I'll still add my moth ball case for added security and prevention of infestation.

I checked at the store that the cushioning is removable, which it was. I ripped out the lining - and here's what they look like.

LIFE IS STILL EXCITING AT OUR HOUSE! 

With more insects. . . 

Quick 2021 update - we have taken our bugs online and on youtube. Visit AMI Studios Chicago if you want to see our insect videos - you can watch them here.

It's mostly baby girls videos and here slime making, she spends time with friends, goes on road trips, lots of coloring activities and make good choices while having fun. During the covid stay at home orders - she had many many many facetime pandemic playdates - we made time work for us and not be bored.

I anticipate adding a sign across the inside cover, with the bugs find location, or some other fun feature.
