Some Suppliers of Entomological Accessories

There are an awful lot of entomological suppliers in the world and this list does not attempt to be exhaustive in any way, if you can not find what you want here try Iowa State Entomology Index: Companies. Otherwise people who want to know more should; in England get a copy of the 'Directory for Entomologists' from the Amateur Entomologists Society and in America check out this list at the University of Michigan, or for the world get a copy of the 'Insect Study Source Book' from the Young Entomologists Society (YES) E-Mail Gary Dunn at YESbugs@aol.com or write Snail Mail to

Young Entomologists' Society 1915 Peggy Place, Lansing MI 48910-2553 USA

Phone/fax: 517-887-0499

However it is worth noting that in some places, livestock, books and even equipment are easily come by in ordinary retailers. Also it is always worth joining some of the relevent societies, who distribute livestock cheaply or even free to members and often get discounts on useful books. Through societies it is also possible to have advance warning of shows and exhibitions which are generally the best places to satisfy all your entomological needs, there are many of these around the world.

Finally if you know of anybody who really should be on this list, or of any errors please let me know mrgordonramel(at)yahoo.com
