An exhibitor may enter only one class Entomology and one class in Honey. 3.Specifications for exhibits: a.9” x 13” folding cardboard insect-collection boxes available through UK College of Agriculture, Department of Entomology, should be used.

They must be approximately 18” x 24” and not more than 3 1/2” thick with Plexiglas or glass covers and cellotex pinning bottoms (or plastazote or polyethylene pinning bottoms available from entomology supply stores such as Bioquip.com). Boxes must be easily opened (for instance; if a screw is used to secure Plexiglas tops, use a thumbscrew fastener instead of a fastener that requires a tool). b.Specimens are to be arranged so the box can be exhibited horizontally. 4-H’ers may attach wires to the back of wooden boxes to help make them easier to display. c.Identification labels available from your County Extension Office must be used, or custom labels may be printed if they conform exactly to the font, font size, and font color of the official labels. Labels should be printed onto white cardstock. The exhibit identification card should be placed on the front of the box (each box).

If vials are used, they may account for no more than 2% of a collection. Vials must be securely wired or pinned to the pinning bottoms. g.The inclusion of non-insect specimens (spiders, e.g.) is encouraged, but because this is primarily an insect collection, and because non-insects do not preserve well on insect pins, points will be deducted if there are more than one specimen from each non-insect class. 4.Entomology exhibits are judged on the following categories: Orders, Species, Common Names, Labels, Condition of Specimens, Overall Appearance, Life Cycle Representation, Catalog of Specimens.
