alanmin4304 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 They are expensive aren't they? The fine would be a bit tough but the free board and lodging would help compensate I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 fascinating i found a big moth floating in a trough today currently on bench drying out. any tips on preserving it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 be careful not to knock any scales off the wings put on paper towel right way up and allow to dry properly once dry you can put cardboard under the towel then cellophane on top and staple round the edges to hold firmly in place Aproph may have his own personal way he wants it mounted try here for mounting technique http://bughunter.tamu.edu/mountingabutterfly.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
