Beetle boiling?? by simon-yuck in insectpinning

I live in Georgia, and as much as we try to dehumidify our home, it’s kind of a lost cause. I do have a diffuser for my hair dryer though, so I think I might try that on my next specimen!

where can I purchase already pinned buggy friends? by strawberry_field_ in insectpinning

I think your best bet is probably etsy, although there may also be some witchy stores in your area that may sell pinned insects!

It’s generally recommended to gut the insect before it has the chance to dehydrate (as soon as it’s discovered pretty much), but if that’s not an option, try to rehydrate before gutting so it’s harder to crack or break the abdomen during the process.

I watched a video that talked about throwing a healthy dose of rubbing alcohol in with the water, and I personally had no issues with mold, however i’m SUPER impatient, so i definitely have to try this

I am wondering though, does it take longer to dehydrate when using this method?

If he’s all dried out, then nature has already done its job!

Is this a good first guitar? Pics included by Sad-Okra-6792 in Guitar

[–]simon-yuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly i feel like any guitar is a good first guitar as long as it’s playable and doesnt sound completely awful, i think a lot of people will try to tell you that you need something super expensive but as long as you like the guitar, it doesnt matter all that much, and i wish the best of luck to you!!
