Containers for collecting and storing insects

Community and Forum → Entomological collections → Containers for collecting and storing insects

Several topics have already raised the issue of various containers for collecting and storing insect collections. Here, for example, various containers with a lid made of polypropylene - I store alcohol charges in them myself. So far, I haven't noticed a strong exhalation of alcohol (if you close it tightly), as well as centrifuge tubes with and without scales, of different calibers and volumes for every little thing; on the bottom right, with a screw-down lid with a rubber gasket just for alcohol charges. I bought everything at MSU in the Almalab store http://www.almalab.ru/, you can pay for both cash and non-cash payments.

I use cans of some kind of medicine. And the ear stick containers(on the left) also work well. Everything is hermetically sealed.

But, in fact, "large-caliber artillery" - tanks used to collect a large number of large live insects, for example, grasshoppers or locusts. There is a lot of space in such containers, and you can also place a bouquet of forage plants or rot with the ground. Plastic containers for various food products (coffee, salt, sugar, etc.). For ventilation, it is necessary to make a certain number of holes in the walls.

Centrifuge tubes are a great thing! Very convenient, take up little space. And for what is larger-from under the film jars smile.gif
