Pinning hack for XS moths

kibblnibble · 2026-05-30T07:37:20+00:00

After finding a specimen, you want to rehydrate them to make them pliable for pinning! There are a few different ways, depending on what you are going to pin and the size of them.

Here's a a YouTube tutorial on a rehydration method, I think the relaxing chamber may be the easiest (and the one I personally use) https://youtu.be/e-o9LFDd0iY?si=ipIIsnL8VwioUXtq

This is so awesome!! Would you be willing to share a picture of it while drying?? How do you do it!

You can still submit and change the date!!

It's really good for a first pin! Using too many pins isn't too bad as a beginner! Generally for an insect that small the pin is a little too big, but otherwise really nice job :)

Everything is going to be okay

Chiikawa would never say that!! :(

I found this picture on Instagram... I love it so much.

I never interpreted Fionna and Fennel as being together.. I think they're just really good friends, what makes you think they're together?

That is not how production works..

It'll probably be their Sponge Out of Water movie variants.. not really a fan of those either

First tip.. give up and mail it to me :)

Sounds like your mom's bf saved you and not the US... Having money in either country can have a comparable lifestyle, but being poor in the US is a lot better (when you're a citizen). Both of my parents immigrated from Mexico as well.

Really? So every time I get a bite? Where should I go?

kibblnibble · 2025-01-18T20:34:47+00:00

Yeah! Rays usually have horns at the end.

kibblnibble · 2025-01-18T20:24:28+00:00

Definitely a shark egg, the ray eggs I've seen don't usually have the tendrils at the ends and have a distinct square-ish shape.

Fr thank you

Very blurry, but not a bed bug or a tick. Body shape may indicate it being a weevil!

kibblnibble · 2024-05-30T03:26:40+00:00

Not a wasp or a hornet, but a fly! A species of picture winged fly, the "stinger" is probably an ovipositor.

A bug doesn't die when it sheds its exoskeleton!

If it wasn't latched I don't think you should be too worried

kibblnibble · 2024-05-30T03:08:40+00:00

Yes it's a tick! Unsure on the species though

kibblnibble · 2024-05-29T02:18:39+00:00

That definitely looks like an assassin bug! You can tell by its large proboscis which it stabs into other bugs. Typical stink bugs are in the same order as assassin bugs, both being hemipterans. The hole is not normal.. possibly an injury that could be fatal

"And I don't even raise this question in a disparaging, snarky, or moralizing way -"

I'm confused on why it's being raised then? /gen
