How to make butterfly specimens

1, collecting butterflies: To make butterfly specimens, we need to collect complete butterflies first. You can look for butterflies in nature or buy ready-made butterfly specimens.

2. Anesthesia: Anesthetize the butterfly to make it inactive. The common method is to put the butterfly in a sealed container and add a small amount of ethyl acetate or alcohol, but it is necessary to pay attention to the low concentration to prevent the butterfly from being damaged.

3. Killing and preparation: Fix the butterfly on a special exhibition board with slender and sharp needles or insect fixing nails. Attention should be paid to ensure that the wings of butterflies are open and symmetrical during fixation.

4. Drying: Put the butterfly specimens in a dry and ventilated place and wait for them to dry completely. This usually takes a week or more, depending on the size of the butterfly and environmental conditions.
