Applications and Experiments for the Insect Collecting Net
The net is swept through grass, shrubs or the air to catch flying and crawling insects for identification, counting and release. It supports biodiversity surveys, life-cycle and classification lessons, and practical entomology in school science, B.Sc. zoology and agriculture or forestry field courses.
- School science: collecting insects on a nature walk to sort them by body parts, wings and legs.
- Ecology field work: sweep-net sampling inside a Folding Quadrat to compare insect numbers between habitats.
- B.Sc. zoology and agriculture: collecting specimens for identification, preservation and insect collections.
- Pollinator studies: catching bees, butterflies and hoverflies and comparing them with the Beneficial Insect Species Chart.
Turn the ring sharply after each sweep so the bag folds over the rim and insects cannot escape, then transfer them gently to a container.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order line includes one insect collecting net with its wooden handle, the 12-inch net already attached to the iron ring. Collecting containers, magnifiers, needles and spreading boards are separate products and can be priced on the same quotation to make up a full field-collection set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be raised for one net or for enough nets for every group on a field trip. Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and other field-study equipment can be grouped on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. Let the team know your requirement on the contact page, put the net and any accessories into the enquiry cart, or go to the lab tender page for tender purchases.
