Dear friend,
4 years ago, we decided to keep the InsectNet Classifieds & Forum free for all members. We would like to maintain this decision for 2025.
Nevertheless the cost of the Classifieds and Forum is very important and we would appreciate if you could help us with a small donation like every year.
So for those of you who find InsectNet useful and can afford it, here is the link to make a donation via Paypal:

Despite their high running costs (picture hostings, third-party expensive softwares), we have decided to keep the InsectNet Forum and Classifieds free for all existing users.

Since the closure of Bioquip equipment, a lot of us have been looking for a serious entomological material supplier.
