Problems importing insect pins

[Ken Kinman]

     And imagine the poor entomologist going through airport security not
only with insect pins, but they are in a box labelled "Bombyliid specimens".
      And so many ominous sounding names:  Cyananthrax cyanoptera, Inyo
destructor, Anthrax varius, Bombomyia bombiformis, Thyridanthrax pertusa,
Rhynchanthrax plagosus.   You could probably get some dirty looks by just
discussing bee fly taxonomy in a public place.
