Applications and Experiments for the Entomological Network
Despite its name, this item is not a network of any kind but an entomological, or insect-collecting, net. Students sweep vegetation or catch flying insects with it and then transfer the catch for study, which makes it simple biology lab equipment for school field trips, ecology surveys and insect-diversity projects.
- Class 6–8 science: collecting common insects and grouping them by wings, legs and body parts.
- Class 11 biology (Animal Kingdom, Arthropoda): observing the three body regions and six legs of insects caught on a field trip.
- Ecology practicals: sweep-net sampling of two grassland plots to compare the number and variety of insects.
- Reference collections: specimens can be set with Dissecting Pins and checked against the Harmful Insects Educational Chart.
Release harmless insects after observation where possible, and empty the net gently into a container instead of handling the catch directly.
Standard Scope of Supply
One complete net is supplied per order line: the 24 cm metal ring, the 30 cm polyester net and the plastic stick described in the table. Collecting jars, pins and spreading boards are not included; they can be added to the same quotation when a full insect-study kit is needed for a class.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Schools can request a price for one net or for enough nets to give each group its own on a field trip. Every quotation from Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and collecting containers or magnifiers can be priced on it as well.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. To ask for a price on the net, write in via the contact page or gather items in the enquiry cart; institutional bids are explained on the lab tender page.
