Hello, all; I recently present at the Massachusetts Environmental Education Society's annual meeting, and attended a workshop there with the park rangers of the Boston Harbor Islands. They have a program whereby they capture live insects, dry them, and preserve them in blocks of clear resin to be used in identification workshops with children.
I want to capture adult samples of some of the aquatic macroinvertebrates that I work with, so that participants in my workshops can try to match up the live larvae with the resin-entombed adult insects. (Think dragonflies, damselflies, mosquitoes, caddisflies, etc.) I am having a hard time getting useful results from searching with "resin kit" on Google; anyone have any suggestions? The park rangers suggested looking at a craft store like Michael's...I'm really open to other ideas! Thank you kindly, Kelly Stettner Executive Director BlackRiver Action Team (BRAT) 101 Perley Gordon Road Springfield, VT 05156 http://www.blackriveractionteam.org
