Hi everyone, and welcome!

I’m Paul from Insects4Sale. I started this forum so students, teachers, parents, and collectors have a friendly place to ask questions, share collections, and help each other out. Whether you’re building your first school collection or you’ve been pinning for 40 years, you’re welcome here.

A few simple rules to keep it a good place for everyone:

1. Be kind. Many members are students working on their first collection. There are no dumb questions here.
2. No spam. No advertising, link dropping, or selling outside the Trades and Wanted board.
3. No adult or offensive content. Keep posts and photos family friendly. Accounts that break this rule will be removed.
4. Keep orders private. For questions about an order, shipping, or payment, please email me at insects4sale@gmail.com instead of posting. That keeps your personal information off the forum.
5. Protected species. We discourage collecting any species on the current protected species list. We know collectors often can’t identify a species at the time they collect it, and older specimens may have been collected before a species was protected. Talking about protected species and sharing photos of them, including live ones in the wild, is always welcome.
6. Stay on topic. Post in the board that fits best. If you’re not sure, Ask a Question is always fine.

New members’ first posts are held for a quick approval, so don’t worry if yours doesn’t show up right away.

Glad you’re here. Go ahead and introduce yourself below!

Paul
