Best pinning video I've watched so far. Absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything beautifully! Greatly appreciated
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!
I found a fairly plain deceased June beetle outside my house today. It has all six legs and is in beautiful condition, so I’m going to try pinning it with the wings out, the legs are already in perfect position. You made it look so easy, thank you for the tutorial!
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.
Great tutorial. I’ll definitely be referencing this when I start pinning my beetles. I’ll probably have to let my Atlas and D. Titanus rehydrate for a few days though since they’re both 75mm+
hi mindy! i have a question- i have a pretty large beetle in my freezer (probably 2.5 inches) and was wondering if it would start to stink after defrosting/rehydrating. the abdomen is pretty big- at least large enough for it to possibly start rotting. will it rot? and if so how would i go about preserving it?
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!❤
This is great! Thank you so much! I'd love to see an Orchid mantis pinning and how to glue some beetles or other insects into a boxframe instead of cotton
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!
of all the pinning videos I've watched so far this is by far the most informative!! ill definitely be subscribing and referring back when my insects come in :)

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

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!
