Welcome to Arthropod.Net

   Our site is divided into six major areas:
Arthropods
Arthropods are animal with external skeletons.  They include Insects, Arachnids (Spiders), Crustaceans (Crabs, Lobsters, etc.) and the extinct Trilobites.  Here you will find collecting and preservation supplies, magnificent specimens and many collections.  We also have an extensive Reference Section that contains an Insect Identification Chart, pages insect anatomy and an introduction to each order.
Habitats
No we don't have any waterfalls, but just really liked the picture.  This department contains products that provides the young naturalist with the resources needed to raise his own critters - everything from butterflies and silkworms to frogs. 
Magnifiers
If you want to learn insect anatomy, then you've got to look very closely.  We have one of the largest selections of magnifiers available anywhere. 
Micro-World
      If you really want to learn about insects and other arthropods, then a microscope is a must.  This department offers a wide range of Microscopes, all the Supplies you'll ever need and an extensive array of Specimen Sets.  Everything you need to get started with the Microslide System, widely used educators
Posters and Prints
     We have the largest selection of educational and hobby posters on the internet.  Posters for spiders, beetles and butterflies are only the tip of our animal poster iceberg.  Everything from domestic dogs and cats to prehistoric dinosaurs.  But there is more than animals: space exploration, earth science, human anatomy, humor, history, American patriotic, race cars, airplanes and much, much more.
