Re: where can I get a display case for an insect collection? I can't find one

Dear Jennifer:

Here are a number of web sites where you can shop for insect display cases. 
I'm not sure how fancy you want to get, so I've included a range of 
options.  I don't have personal experience with any of these outfits, so 
I'm not endorsing them in any particular order.  Have fun!

www.rikermount.com/  (these look amazing--probably $$$ too, but who knows?)

I'd also recommend you contact Carolina Biological Supply.  Most science 
teachers order equipment and materials from them, so they're very helpful 
and tend to offer reasonable prices for reasonable items.  Their web site 
didn't provide specific info on insect display cases, but I'd give them a 
call if I were you.

Another educators' dream is ACORN NATURALISTS at 
http://www.acorn-group.com/contents.htm

They have Riker Mounts (as mentioned above) and may offer a discount for 
students.  At any rate, you won't have to pay extra for shipping from 
England, so you might want to check both places.  I went to the Acorn 
contents page and searched for insect display cases, and all sorts of 
things came up.

Enjoy the critters,
