Nestled in the lush green hills of Central New York State's Dairy Country....... Quality Lepidoptera and Coleoptera
Since the age of 6, I've been fascinated with insects. The journey began with cicadas
and I quickly included lepidoptera in my "studies". Just recently, I've delved fall-force into the nearly
infinite world of beetles. My wife and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary. I am the proud father
of two boys. When I'm not absorbed in insects, I enjoy lifting weights, running, investing, and fishing.
As the proprietor of A1 Insects by Ed, I believe it's more
about the people than the insects. Forming life-long friendships and lasting trade relationships come first and
foremost. I practice sustainable collecting, never overcollecting nor the taking of species occurring in very
small populations in a given location. The survival of insect species is more important to me than collecting or selling
these creatures. I have a lifelong love of nature, conservation, and preservation of our earth.
My mission is to provide fresh frozen and dried insects of the highest quality at a very reasonable
cost. I am willing to trade any of my specimens for many species of beetles. Insects are available
for shipping to all fifty states. On a seasonal basis, I offer local Saturnid livestock.
What sets A1 Bugs by Ed apart from many other dealers is that virtually
all of the specimens from New York State were collected or reared personally by me, Ed. Thus they have not changed
hands multiple times between collectors nor have my self-caught specimens sat for years in some musty warehouse.
That, couple with my personal care and committment, is assurance of the highest quality.
All the best in research, collecting, artwork, and all other endeavors.
