[QUOTE="yen_saw, post: 17096, member: 12"] Put the dead specimen in a dry/cool and shaded area but not fridge or freezer. If you want your pinned specimen looks great position the mantis with pin and paper strap like below [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/yen_saw/pinned%20collection/male.jpg[/IMG] If you leave the dead mantis in the freezer for too long, the legs and wing may break and the color of the mantis turn dark and unattractive. Do not put the dead specimen under the sun too, the color will fade. Pin the mantis between the thorax na dabdomen 1-2 week after drying the dead specimen. It takes time and patient that's why a good collection of dead specimen can cost more than a live one. [/QUOTE]
