Bug collection

An online resource devoted to North American insects, spiders and their kin, offering identification, images, and information.

My first insect case.

A selection of photographs from the book “A Glorious Enterprise: The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the Making of American Science.”

A collection of GCSE, IGCSE and A Level Art exam topic interpretations and ideas to help students prepare for their 2013 Art exams.

They’re a great resource for his nature studies and I’ve really enjoyed refining my process of preserving specimens over the past couple of years. I have a bit of experience pinning a variety of different insects, but am most familiar with butterflies and moths,
