About Us: Exploring the World of Insect Collecting

Insect Collecting Is Fun and Educational

Insects are Earth’s most captivating creatures—tiny marvels that never cease to amaze. From ants that farm crops and raise livestock to others that wage wars and take slaves, their behaviors are as extraordinary as their appearances. Ever heard of the Peruvian ant with a peanut-shaped head? With over 900,000 known species, insects offer endless opportunities to learn and explore.

A Passion That Never Fades

For me, entomology is more than a hobby—it’s a lifelong adventure. As a kid diagnosed with ADD, I struggled to focus on anything for long. Even as an adult, jobs like operating power plants or selling real estate couldn’t hold my interest. But chasing a rare beetle or studying a butterfly’s life cycle? That’s different. With millions of insects still waiting to be discovered, boredom simply isn’t an option.

Filling a Gap for Insect Enthusiasts

Finding quality insect-collecting supplies shouldn’t be a challenge, but it often is. Walk into a big-box hobby store, and you’ll be lucky to find a butterfly net suited for anyone over five—or insect pins at all. Why? These items aren’t “profitable” enough to compete with fake flowers or crochet kits. But insect collectors are a passionate, niche community, and we deserve better. That’s where this website comes in. Thanks to the internet, bug lovers worldwide can connect, share ideas, and finally get their hands on the tools they need—think sturdy nets, adjustable mounting boards, and more—to fuel their entomological pursuits.
