WE ARE BACK!

The end of summer marked a big milestone for us! We relocated to our New Jersey location while also working on updating our products! We cannot wait to share with you what we have been working on!

We are also preparing for the Entomological Collections Network and Entomological Society of America 2024 annual meetings in Phoenix, AZ! If you are attending, let’s connect! 

Here are the October 2024 updates on production and shipping dates! We are doing our best to be as transparent as possible through these posts on product timelines. If there is anything that you need, please reach out and we can add it to our list of production plans! As always, thank you to the community of people that provide direct product feedback, we would not be able to do this work without you!
