This is an easy swap. Take a standard size Rolodex card (2.25 x 4") and create a mini field guide page for your partner. Pick the insect, spider, scorpion (etc) of your choosing, but please be specific. Don't just put a generic beetle on there and label it beetle. Pretend you are designing a field guide page. You can illustrate however you choose, hand-drawn, original photo, or cut out of an existing print. Write the scientific and common name, habitat, diet, common enemies, favourite movie (just kidding), etc. You don't have to include all of the above, and you can include categories not mentioned. Just make it accurate.

Sender's choice regarding which insect/etc. If anyone signs up for this, I'll repeat it, but will start to narrow down the choices, so we don't all end up with sixteen Rolodex cards of dragonflies.

My hope is to eventually have a fairly comprehensive set of cards in our collections.

Are Rolodex cards easy to find?

I second that question Above!! This sounds so fun since I am doing a beetle illustration at school. I do not have any Rolodex cards though.

Office supply stores carry them. So does Amazon

Interesting ID @greenhotdogs When I was in school they served turkey hot dogs and they would turn a greenish color sitting in the warm water.

Yes, I think I've even seen them in the grocery stores, in the pens/paper aisle, but as noted above, they are easily available at office supply stores or via Amazon.
