“An international community for people interested in exchanging arthropod livestock. It was originally founded by Lepidoptera breeders but others are welcome”
The ovogram website is an active community and TTB is also participating with spare exchanges, highly recommended!
“Barcode of Life Data systems (commonly known as BOLD) is a sequence database specifically devoted to DNA barcoding. As of 2017, BOLD included over 5.9 million DNA barcode sequences from over 542,000 species”
Apart from being a very powerful scientific tool, BOLD is very useful to breeders. It provides a search bar to directly search for the species name. The output will provide, in addiction to barcoding data, photos of the samples collected, collection sites list and map. You really have tons of other infos!
