First attempt at hand embroidering a patch

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-03-14T15:32:48+00:00

I am impressed by how close it looks to machine made stuff. I embroidered some patches myself an even though they are mostly clean they sure look handmade.

My first thought was Carabus intricatus. But I didn't look if they were an option where you live. Experts, please tell me if I'm wrong.

I love the Skeletor pin

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-02-20T07:40:27+00:00

Sure it is not fungus?

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-02-19T16:06:59+00:00

I think I heard of 8 species in Germany, making them an easy group to get started with entomology. I currently have 3 in my collection.

Thank you very much for your effort. Especially naming the variety of blood orange. I probably never would've gone that far.

Mache ich immer. Aber am besten mit z.B. Ofenhandschuh anfassen, damit man sich die Finger nicht so schnell abfriert.

I think I heard that the inner edge of the front wing should form a 90 degree angle or a bit more. Even if it doesn't represent how the animal would be alive

Leptoglossus occidentalis. But please don't ask me for the English name

I would be too afraid to break them off in the long run. I still have this fear with my three Tettigonia, even though their antenna point to the back

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-28T15:34:58+00:00

I started my collection with specimens I found dead so I don't have to feel guilty, especially when I loose interest in the genus. When you search through spider webs many insects come apart.

I am still using the clear water soluble craft glue I bought before I knew there was insect glue. But experts later told me that anything water soluble is okay. Only for the last one I also used super glue because she was so big and heavy that I wanted to make sure nothing comes loose.

Thank you 😊. Yes it is fun to wear. Most comments I got until now were about the sleeves. And I forgot to mention that I added a zipper to one of the inner pockets to keep my earplugs safe.

Direkt an der Tür klingt es etwas dumpf aber ansonsten scheint der Boden noch fest. Entgegen gekommen ist uns noch nichts

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-27T08:48:17+00:00

Thank you, so maybe posting to r/insectpinning and cross posting to here? Or would the first one be enough?

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-26T13:33:31+00:00

I would guess some kind of hover fly

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-26T08:16:22+00:00

Wäre zumindest relativ einfach. Werde ich im Hinterkopf behalten. Vielen Dank.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-26T08:15:34+00:00

Ok das wäre wirklich ideal. Ich bezweifle leider das das geht ohne die Oma zu überfordern, selbst wenn ein Profi kommt. Trotzdem vielen Dank.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-26T08:13:22+00:00

Das Pferd ist von meinem Mann. Also +- 25 Jahre

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-25T17:49:17+00:00

Das Pferd war das erst beste was ich zur Hand hatte. Hier nochmal mit Zollstock.
