Butterfly nets

Where do you buy these from? Apart from amazon I mean. I was thinking of catching some bugs down in Bolsa Chica next time I have a day off!

I actually just got a cheap, half decent one at Target.

You get the good ones from science supply companies such as http://educationalscience.com/butterflynets.htm. The ones you get from department stores won't last long.

I made mine nothing gets away from me- lol you can use "bridal veil " , take a firm wire , drill a hole in a doll rod, make the wire into a big circle , and poke the ends in the doll rod - then make a funnel w/ the netting, I hot glued mine, glue that, and then glue it around the wire - or go to target they were not "in season" when I made mine ~

I got 6 for $5 at a "dollar giant" / "mini-price" / "buck or two" type store. They are intended for small children, but they work just fine. A stick of cheap bamboo, a looped wire, a piece of netting.

Bioquip is the place. You could try them online or go there personally. They're in Rancho Dominguez, CA.
