Abstract
Folsomia Candida is a small insect which has proved to be an excellent subject for population studies that can be carried out cheaply and easily in schools and colleges. Means of identifying, obtaining, and culturing these organisms are given together with some indication of the kinds of investigations which can be performed.Keywords
