Insect Aspirator

Introducing our top-of-the-line insect pooter- the ultimate tool for any entomologist or insect enthusiast. Our insect aspirators are classically designed to make the collection of live insects a breeze while ensuring the safety and well-being of both the collector and the specimens.

How it works:

1. Aim the long metal straw at the specimen you intend to collect
2. Create suction with your lungs (gentle breath in/short puffs) or an Aspirator Hand Pump
3. The insect/arthropod will enter the collection tube
4. The mesh in place will prevent any specimens from inhalation
5. Specimens can be transferred to a kill jar or a jar of ethanol. Simply tap the vial firmly downwards, to move the specimens to the bottom of the vial for easier transfer. Alternatively, caps are provided with the collection tubes (Snap Cap vials) and can be added for short term storage of specimens.
6. Clean the collection tube between uses
