Getting started with insect collecting

I just get a set of pins from Amazon that includes 100 of each size (00 through 5), which lasts me about 1 year. As for pointing, I found a template online which you can download and print out. Other useful tools to have are Isopropyl alcohol (to preserve specimens you are waiting to pin), forceps, and a spreading board (they are easy to make).
