FFA Agricultural Entomology CDE Collection
FFA Teaching Kit
Insects are incredibly important organisms for healthy ecosystems, unfortunately they are also our greatest adversaries when it comes to food production. An estimated 19.7 billionUSD is spent annually on pest management to combat insect damage to food production and an estimated 20–40% of all crops are lost annually due to insect damage. Therefore, the National FFA Organization as part of their instrumental education for the next generation of leaders feeding the country requires entomology be taught in many of their programs and in some states even implements an insect identification challenge.
Our kits are designed for teachers to train students with actual specimens to facilitate hands-on learning designed for the FFA Entomology CDE competitions.
Please note that the species included in our kits may vary from kit to kit but will always fit within the guidelines of the FFA Entomology CDE course outlined. If you have an insect list for your own state which differs from these, please email royce@bioquipbugs.com to request a FFA kit be custom created for your state!
Our kits include most but not all specimens within the official FFA lists as some species we currently lack in our stock.
Below you can find the official FFA lists as well as the list outlining what we have currently in stock and highlighting the few species we are lacking at the moment (but we are always updating kits and trying to fill in the missing gaps).

FFA Teaching Collections are available as “papered” and “mounted specimens”. Cannot decide which style you prefer? Here is a short guide on the main differences between the papered and the pinned collections.
–Papered collections are available to ship quickly as these do not require additional preparation time. These specimens either come in alcohol vials or as dry, packaged specimens.
–Mounted specimen collections come mounted in riker-style displays for easy viewing by students. Please allow adequate time for your collection to break pinned and dry as these kits are made-to-order.
