<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">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 Penn State. Do you have a specific pin type you want to test? Let us know!

<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>
