There exists extra-large tab dividers that will extend past the edge of sheet protectors. They're pretty rare though; I found some a few years ago when I started doing Fossils, and bought around 60 of them (which I've basically just recycled ever since). If you're trying to find them, bring a ruler; the labeling isn't that great, so the best way to know what you're getting is to measure them (they'll be about an inch wider than the normal size).
Yeah its a major problem that really could use a commercially available solution. My teammates and I have started laser cutting our own dividers out of polypropylene sheets we bought on amazon and have had great results, but of course youll need a laser cutter...

No, although it's an interesting concept.

That's true, especially considering that native plants are less adaptable than native animals, because animals have problem-solving abilities and such. However, I am just taking a shot in the dark here and the real scientific answer may differ.

In the rules, i saw that there could include recordings of songs, does this refer to the sound that the animal makes?

Here is a great source that most states should be able to use.http://www.misin.msu.edu/facts/index.ph ... on=&habit=[/url]
I'm sorry I can't make it a link, but I promise that typing it out will be worth it! Clemson University also has information on several insects. Can anyone tell me a trick for memorizing scientific names? :?: Also, identifying live plant specimens. :ugeek:
