Insect Specimens from Rwanda

Insect Designs has just received our first parcel of specimens from a new supplier in Rwanda. It is really difficult getting specimens from this country and we are very excited about future dealings. This first parcel was a small one, containing a few interesting items such as Eudicella smithi (?) and grasshoppers, and a few other bits and pieces that will be posted on the single beetles page over the next few days. Please visit soon for a browse.
