Hi all,
One of my teachers was asking for a display box to put mounted insect specimens in. I gather that she wanted something about A3 in size, wood with a glass lid and foam on the bottom to push pins into. I have looked through all my supplier catalogues, but have found nothing. Has anybody got any ideas or is this one for the Woodwork Department?
Regards
Ian
Insect Display Boxes?

Hi Ian,
Southern Biological (03 9877 4597) have cardboard insect display boxes in the entomological section of their catalogue. They sell the polystyrene inserts if you cannot access the foam locally, eg fruit packing cases.
You could also ring the Biological Sciences Museum at Macquarie University or any museum for their supplier.
Depending on the size of the insect, wooden microscope side boxes may be an option.
Have fun in your search,
~Robyn

Hello again Ian,
I have a wooden insect display box you are welcome to borrow if you can find a handyman to copy it. It does not have a glass lid, however.

Thanks all for the help so far. It is looking more and more like I might have to knock one up my self, but I was hoping for an easier solution. Thanks too, Robyn for the offer. It might be a hassle for me to get the actual box from you, but perhaps you could send me the measurements and a description, or e-mail me a photo so that I have something to work from. That would be great.

Thanks very much.
