[QUOTE="joossa, post: 75658, member: 648"] Good start! Next time use strips of paper to hold down the wings instead of piercing them. :) Yen has a very good picture that gave me an idea of how to spread and dry insects when I began to do it a couple of years ago... I'll have to look it up. Experience and experimentation matters. the more you do it, the better you become. In the end, one can have a great collection. Give your specimen about 1 week to dry. Don't expose it to direct sunlight either! [/QUOTE]
