SUPPLIERS of
INSECT COLLECTING EQUIPMENT
This page is designed to be a quick reference for anyone looking for a place to purchase insects or collecting equipment. Many of these companies have on-line catalogs, or would be happy to send a catalog to you in the mail if you will call and ask them. Please let me know about other resources that I have missed, so that they may be included here for the benefit of other collectors. Also, if you would like to leave feedback on any of the suppliers (good or bad), that would be helpful as well.DCLS is not affiliated with any of the suppliers.

Bio Quip is the standard supplier for most people. They deliver your order quickly and usually have what you need in stock. So far their on-site catalog in unusable, but they do have a workable on-line order form.
