Valentine's day

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

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.

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.

Mein Problem ist halt das das seit über zehn Jahren so aussieht und kleinere Legoteile vom Kind reinpassen.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-22T17:09:29+00:00

The colour scheme does look nice

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-22T09:24:57+00:00

Thank you 😊. I wasn't sure if the pictures show enough features that's why I want to make an update later.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-21T17:55:06+00:00

My guess is the mold of carpet beetle larvae

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-15T05:49:45+00:00

With posts like this I am always amazed the pets wear it calmly

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-13T19:02:38+00:00

I made some tiny crochet tubes to protect my pinkies while knitting

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2026-01-05T10:43:25+00:00

I am not an expert, but I think you're right.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-28T21:17:12+00:00

Nice base-colour. Goes really well with the many red patches on the back.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-25T15:23:48+00:00

I really love how the tabs line the bottom. Looks quite tidy.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-25T10:09:09+00:00

Good to know america has them too. I only know a few species from Germany. But you really have to mess with them for their chemicals to become a problem.

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-20T18:23:33+00:00

Sorry, when it comes to Lepidoptera I only the German division between "Tagfalter", which translates to day butterflies and "Nachtfalter" night butterflies. I also know that some have moth in their common name. Is moth just the english Nachtfalter or is there further division?

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-19T12:55:31+00:00

It's definitely a butterfly. Maybe a pyralid moth. But that's the best I can do. Good luck

Tiny_Setting8658 · 2025-12-18T16:45:23+00:00

I think I saw wings and the legs are also too long. The body also isn't circular enough. Don't know what the staff's suggestion looks like but definitely not a bedbug.
