How to Make an Insect Collection: Part 6 of 11: Killing

VIDEO MODULE: How to Make an Insect Collection: Part 6 of 11: Killing Making an insect collection is an entomological rite-of-passage for many high school biology students as well as for a large number of college students taking their first entomology course. To help make this enterprise more efficient, enjoyable, and gratifying, Professor James R. Carey of the Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, offered a 2-credit seminar Spring Quarter (2010) with the goal of producing a series of video clips on making an insect collection. The operational concept for producing these clips, all of which were to be packaged in a module titled "How to Make an Insect Collection," was to create a small number of short (30-90 seconds), tightly-scripted videos describing the basic steps or procedures for collecting, preserving and displaying insects. Completeness, detail and high tech were traded off for brevity, simplicity and low cost.
