sufficient.
All collections should be mounted in some type of container. Shoe box
preferred!
If falling apart, bugs can be mounted with glue. (in class demonstration)
Thanks for your support and help with this project. It is my hope that we
can use the bugs to help the students understand the word "DIVERSITY" by
realizing there are many different kinds of bugs found in our area.
