Greetings:
I was referred to you by the Hong Kong Lep page. I have a questions
about the legality of collecting a small number of insects (primarily Leps and
Hymenoptera) in Costa Rica during an upcoming vacation. I have access to some
private land, but would also like to be free to collect along roadsides. No
park collecting, of course, as I understand that those areas are strictly
protected and I do not want to break any rules. But are the areas I have in
mind permissable? And is it okay to bring a few deceased insects into the
states without a huge customs hassle?
Thanks a million for any help. I have been asking these questions many
places and so far no good answers.
Regards,
Rick Mosher
