For making even a fairly large insect collection, only a small amount of
equipment is required. A net and killing bottle are essential, and good
work may be done with these alone. A greater variety of insects may be
collected and with better results if a few more items are added to the
list. Here is an outfit that will be found very satisfactory in the
field.
1. A strong beating net for general sweeping and an additional light net
to be used for moths and butterflies.
