12.0pt'>Hi all,<br>
<br>
There was some chatter recently on the Entomological Collections Network
listerv about which insect pin is best - brand, style, etc. My colleague
and I are following up with a short survey about insect pins, the results of
which will inform some tests we are designing with engineers at <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Penn</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. Do
you have a specific pin type you want to test? Let us know! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
We're also happy to receive samples of pins for testing (especially no. 2 size)
- even just a couple pins - as this will increase the number of replicates and
will hopefully represent different dates of manufacture for the pins we already
have. We *really* need no. 2 stainless steel Elephant brand pins, which I know
are more precious than gold. Any leads are appreciated! <br>
