Q1. Where can I buy tools for collecting insects?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A1. I recommend ordering from Mushisha or Ropponashi online.
For example, I bought items ① to ④ from the following site and connected them together to make a bug net.
①Bug Dorm Spring Net Frame 60cm Diameter (Screw-in Type) (2,420 yen including tax)
②Joint E Fitting (Spring Screw-in Type Frame + Carbon Rod) (660 yen including tax)
③Mushisha Color Nylon Net 60cm Diameter (Green) (2,090 yen including tax)
④PROX Iso Tama Handle Small Tsugi Hard Sword (10,604 yen including tax)
① to ③ are available at

④ is available at
https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B07RQCX9ZJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
You can purchase the handle part of the net in ④ with other iso dama nets. You can find cheap ones at second-hand fishing tackle shops such as Tackleberry.
