Insect Collecting doesn't have to take up a lot of space. Here I have a Tupperware container storing our pins, glues, and chemicals. The small clear case temporarily holds the bugs until we find the bigger home. This is a tupperware container holding our pinning and staging supplies.
In the Process of Collecting Bugs - a Mid Season Review of Our Family Hobby in Progress
Here are some additional supplies laid out. I have My Tupperware container on the top left. Next to the right is a 4-pack of clear boxes form a garage sale, for found injured or dead specimens. The 2nd row from the left, is my pinsol vile for the hydration jar, Clear nail polish, a plain plastic collection jar - also can be used as a hydration jar, lid, small styrofoam piece with pins for staging, purple push pad, envelope with steel pins, Small container and lid for 50/50 mix of water and pinesol when used for hydration (I put the bottom vowl in the hydration jar, and the insect - not in the liquid - in the jar).
