Personally, beetles are my favorite. I would probably wanna specialize in beetles and/or moths in entomology.

I have a super large collection of deceased insects I’ve been meaning to pin, thanks for the tutorial!

I heard using vinegar instead of water for hydration can help prevent mold. is this true?

I’m watching this tutorial so I can pin a butterfly and a dragonfly together that I found! If you have any additional tips to give please tell me I’d love the hear!

Hey, i did this and something laid eggs in the container, whats the best way to deal with this withought damaging the insects? and how do you prevent this?

Excellent

Thank you, this tips are life saving

Very cool thsnks!!!!

Esse é o vídeo que eu precisava! Eu consegui um besouro super lindo, mas não sabia como cuidar a parte das asas, é a minha primeira vez com um inseto que tem as asas "escondidas", muito obrigada pelo vídeo!

Thank you!!!! Thank you so much!!! I was having trouble opening the wing case, so I looked up a tutorial and figured out that I had to rehydrate my beetle.

I have a black bee that i found on the beach that i would like to frame it pls help thanks for the video❤😊

A helpful way to avoid mold and fungus growth is to use a little bit of isopropyl alcohol with the water.

Great video! Everything worked out perfectly, but I couldn't bring myself to pierce my beetle, I felt like the exoskeleton was going to shatter

Hi, love the video but I have a question. There’s a bunch of lantern flies in my area dying in PERFECT condition, do you know how to preserve them & spread the wings? I have a few of them so I’m gonna try this technique and see if it works the same too. Thanks so much!!

there's little bugs eating my wasp. How can i get rid of them before preparing my wasp for taxidermy ?

Wow she can fly with wet wings!?

Thank you! I am new to pinning bugs and put my beetle in a tub filled with water just ontop of some Styrofoam (i think it got wet some too). It ended up modling in just a few hours so this helps a lot to fix that issue, thank you!!

Thank you so much! My Eastern Hercules Beetle, Midas, just passed away and he is just too pretty to bury. Although I will miss watching him throw fruit around his terrarium I can now preserve him proper. Great video!

Very excellent and thorough video! I found a cicada in good condition, and im gonna try pinning it!

Good

Do you still need to put the wet towel on the top if you only plan on positioning the legs but leave the wings as-is?

I bought a Pacific Arc sharpener and it did NOTHING but break the lead. So disappointing. The sharpening mechanism did not engage at all but from you I learned about end of pencils and how to sharpen with that. iIt worked great, THANKS

after they’ve sat for 24th in the hydration chamber, when you take them out to test if they’re ready and everything’s moving and looks good but the wings won’t stay out on their own does that mean they need to go back in? i’m trying for the first time and the legs are bending and i got the wing protectors open but when i pull the wings out they just pull back in..

Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it! Do you need to spray it with anything to seal it before you put it in a glass display case?

So what prevents them from drying out though and becoming crispy after you've done this? Do you need to worry about that or no? Thanks for the video this looks pretty fun

can it work the same if the insect is dry? in the sense, I found it while I was sweeping at work and looking at it like this it seems very 'crunchy'

Super informative! My daughter and I found a Palo Verde Beetle remarkably well preserved outdoors, and I'm going to try my hand at this for the first time in a couple days!❤

can you use normal pins? im going to be pinning a silkmoth i had (i take care of them) but i cant get those pins

i just found a dead june bug that seems to be fully intact. thank you for your video, i'll try rehydrating it and pinning :]

I got a beatles but it went in water what should I do ?

This video is wonderful! But I do have a question, do you have to rehydrate insects that you found outside?

Thank youuu explained very well, super appreciated

Awesome video! I’ve been trying to find out where people buy their insects and some concerns of ethical sourcing have come up. Do you have a recommendation on where to purchase dead insects?

Awesome video! Very detailed and easy to follow. We keep various types of beetles and insects. I’ve been keeping the dried specimens in jars as well as snake sheds, chameleon sheds and spider sheds/carcasses, to look at and admire. Thinking now that I may try to rehydrate using your methods and have a go at pinning them for proper display in box frames!

That was a fantastic video. I'm self studying art and really appreciate the info given.

Great, clear video! I’ve always wondered how to preserve them properly and nicely. I’ve been walking recently and found some amazing beetle specimens I’d love to preserve properly so this really helps. I do have a question, how long should you leave the beetles to dry after pinning them and how should you store them while they’re drying?

Good friend ❤️

Very nice and good day my friend ❤️🥰 Happy New Yar 💓🎉🎉

I have a few California Root Borer beetles that I left outside after forgetting about them for a few months. They’ve been in a plastic insect/critter carrier, and while they haven’t been in direct rain or snow, they’ve still been exposed to the weather. None of them have begun decomposing (that I know of) and look mostly fine. Can I still rehydrate and pin them or should I just wait until I find some more next fall?

You rock!! 😻Amazing content with lots of information 💕thank youu

verynice 👍👍

This is so rad!😆 I'm gonna try and get a kit during the holidays 😃

Nice. work 😍😍✌

Where can I buy unmounted insects ? Is there a specific website that you would recommend?

This is so detailed and informative! I've been wanting to pin moths and beatles for a while now but wasn't sure exactly how to do it and needed a step by step with instruction. Thank you!

We are raising monarchs! The thing is, when they fly we keep swing them laying on the top of the water in our pool! What should we do?

Do you do this with any small animals who have died naturally?

I know with bigger bugs you have to take out their organs, do you have to do that with the little Beatles?

Should I soak insects in acetone prior to pinning?
