Does anyone have any advice on how to collect information when im out so that i can transfer it into my main journal? i have tryed single sheets of paper but they blow about and get soggy and ruined, i really want this journal to be lovely to look over in the next few years, so, any tips people?

thanks alot, Millipede
Hi Millipede and welcome here...............You could try collecting the insects in pots or old jam jars, so you can take them indoors to study them. You can also get waterproof paper if you want to be outdoors. Just a couple of quick thoughts. Good luck.................Jon
