Compare insect mouthparts and specialised legs
The set allows comparative observation of mouthparts from female and male mosquitoes, a butterfly and a honey bee. Five leg preparations cover digging, walking, swimming, jumping and pollen collection, providing a varied selection of insect structures within one collection.
Hydra reproductive organs, male and female Ascaris specimens, and mitosis in horse roundworm eggs extend the collection beyond external anatomy to include material for studying reproduction and cell division.
All specimens are already prepared, so there is no need to collect organisms or cut sections. Individual descriptions help identify each slide, while the supplied box keeps the complete set organised between lessons.
