Insect Needle is a specialized fine-pointed needle used in entomology and biological laboratories for mounting, dissecting, or manipulating small insects and delicate biological specimens. These needles are typically made from stainless steel or nickel-plated steel and are mounted on lightweight plastic or wooden handles for precise control. Insect needles are essential tools in taxonomy, specimen preparation, and microscopic analysis. Available in various gauges and lengths, they allow researchers to pin, sort, or dissect fragile insect bodies without causing damage.
