I know that elements which entomological collections are most sensitive are light and humidity, but what regard temperature?
I have read important international texts regarding museum conservation, but in these nothing too specific deals with the entomological material.
Ok, usually for various and sensitive materials, service temperature between 16 and 21 C ° max 25 but ....
... are they usually respected by private collectors?
How and where do you keep your collection (in addition to a dark and dry place)?

My specimens are kept at 24C, humidity below 30%. I don't think temperature is as critical as low humidity and darkness, but keeping the temperature lower than outside (it's 30C+ most of the time here) is important in helping reduce humidity.
Adam.
