i would welcome up to date simple english translation of what a canadian has
to do to avoid breaking the law in the following situation: weekend trip by
car across the border to collect non-protected insectsin a neighboring state.
is it legal to bring the dead beasties back at any normal border crossing, is
some kind of form needed from US customs and is there a difference in rules
between scientists and those who study insects for fun. thx in advance for
clarification
