Why vials?  Some arthropods cannot be dried without decomposing, for example isopods and spiders.  Such specimens can, however, be stored and preserved in alcohol. 

Sold in packs of 10

All vials come with caps. 

The Taperseal cap is excellent for longer-term storage. Note the pictures:  there is an inner "cone-shaped" LDPE liner inside a black phenolic cap.  The shape of the liner and the relatively moldable LDPE provide an excellent seal. 

If you are prone to knocking vials over, these are definitely the vials for you!  We tested these by filling with alcohol and leaving the vial on its side for weeks.  We did not observe any leaking or seepage and the contents did not discolour due to contact with the cap. 

In sizes starting with the 1/4-dram teeny-tiny "cutie" to the 8-dram "big fella".  The 4-dram vial is a "chubby" little fella; it tends to be less tippable, so much more user-friendly for the younger crowd.
