Where can I get an insect box and how much does one cost?

Many 4-Hers incorporate a bit of wood working into their entomology project by building their standard display box to contest specifications. In order to do this, follow the instructions in the 4-H Introduction to entomology - MSU-ES pub 317 or in the information sheet MSU-ES IS 653. These publications have been recently revised so that the dimensions of the boxes are now equivalent to the Cornell Insect Drawer (OD - 19 X 16.5 X 3"). Standard display boxes may be purchased from the Entomology & Plant Pathology Department, Clay Lyle Entomology Building on the MSU campus. These boxes are constructed by Gravalee Lumber Company in Tupelo, so they are available at the lumber company location, as well. Cost of a box for a 4-Her is $30.00.
