There are also other groups who produce newsletters or are willing to share their expertise. Some have student clubs or organizations who would be willing to visit your group and talk about insects. I suggest that you use the Peterson series book . The plates in this book are excellent and easy to use. Encyclopedias and other reference sets are also helpful at times.
Insect collections can be very beautiful and quite informative.
They not only demonstrate the beauty of insects, but also demonstrate qualities in the collector. Please remember to follow the pinning and label instructions as closely as possible. Insect pins are a must for any good insect collection. They are available through most extension offices or at University Book Stores. You can order them direct from the Y.E.S. - Young Entomologists' Society.
