Insect Spreading Board
Product Code : LSK-BL-10232
Insect Spreading Board (SKU LSK-BL-10232) is a wooden board for setting insects with their wings spread while they dry for a collection. Its groove adjusts smoothly in width to take insects of various sizes up to 12 mm, and the surface is covered with a non-scarring synthetic sheet that takes repeated pinning without leaving pin marks. It suits school biology projects and B.Sc. zoology and entomology collections. Science Lab Supplies can quote it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and distributors.
Specifications
Every feature of the spreading board is set out in the table. In short, it is a wooden board with a smoothly adjustable groove for insects up to 12 mm, faced with a non-scarring synthetic sheet so that pins can go in and come out repeatedly without marking the surface.

Applications and Experiments for the Insect Spreading Board
The board can be used to spread and set the wings of small butterflies, moths and other insects so that wing veins and patterns stay visible once the specimen has dried. It suits B.Sc. zoology and entomology collection practicals, agricultural science courses and school biodiversity projects run under teacher supervision.
- B.Sc. zoology and entomology: setting field-collected specimens before labelling, then identifying them against the Harmful Insects Educational Chart.
- Agriculture and horticulture courses: preparing reference specimens of crop pests and pollinators.
- Wing-venation study: examining the set wings under a Tripod Magnifier.
- School projects: building a labelled biodiversity display from insects found around the campus.
Standard Scope of Supply
One wooden Insect Spreading Board with its adjustable groove and non-scarring synthetic surface is supplied per unit ordered. Pins, needles and collecting equipment are separate catalogue items, and any of them can be quoted with the board for a complete insect-collection set for a class or course.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one board for a teacher, several for a practical group, or a full set for an entomology course. Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and nets, pins and magnifiers can be added to the same quote.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Message the team from the contact page, list the board in the enquiry cart, or use the lab tender page for tendered purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size of insect does the board take?
The groove is smoothly adjustable in width for insects of various sizes up to 12 mm, so the same board can be set for small and larger specimens within that range.
Will repeated pinning damage the board?
The wooden board is covered with a non-scarring synthetic sheet that is suitable for repeated pinning without leaving pin marks, so the surface stays usable over many collection sessions.
Which pins can be used with the board?
Fine pins hold the wings and paper strips in place; the range includes Entomological Needles with coloured enamel and chrome-plated Dissecting Pins in 25 mm and 50 mm. Both can be quoted with the board.
How can the Insect Spreading Board be ordered?
Order through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, Haryana, which provides the board as a sourced item. A single quotation can combine it with nets, pins and charts and states the packing and delivery time for the whole request.
