Featherweight forceps are widely used by entomologists in a variety of applications. Made of flexible stainless steel, they can be bent into almost any desired shape. They do not crush most larvae or eggs, and are convenient for retrieving arthropods stored
in vials as well as general specimen handling or sorting. Small hole allows forceps to be hung on a cord to prevent loss. Manufactured by BioQuip, they are available in two styles.
