Pinning & preserving a giant flower beetle
Giant flower beetle (M. torquata immaculicolis) this is a large male, much bigger than their female counterparts and easily distinguished by that very spicy horn. They have a gorgeous velvet covering on their shell, which I try to avoid touching as it's easy to ruin with over handling.
I raise these beetles myself, currently I have shelves with tubs of grubs, all different species and stages. The first of this batch of giant flower beetles should be adults this summer. I love them, and can't wait to have to rearrange the entire bug room to accommodate them.

Giant katydid insect preservation and pinning
zhlédnutí 692Před měsícem
A preservation tutorial for the giant katydid, which is also suitable for large crickets and grasshoppers, locusts and similar insects. I explain the tools and techniques to clean the insect, before stuffing and pinning it out. I have been preserving insects for over six years, usually to gild in 24ct gold leaf for contemporary art pieces. This is one of my home raised insects which died a natu...
Did the beatle get the point. ..?😊
The Death’s-Head Hawk Moth has already died peacefully before they pinned the moth. This isn’t abuse!
Crunchy 😋
respect
Beautiful work! Pinning is truly an art form!
For the dummies that think this is animal abuse, the moth is already dead.
Moth abuse 😡😡😡😡
The moth was already dead.
My chair can think faster than this guy 😂

The moth died of natural causes and the person wanted to honor it's beauty.
Wanna talk about moth abuse? My dad ate six of them last night FOR A DOLLAR!
#stopkillingmoths
it was probably given to them by a lepidoptera sanctuary, plus it's already dead. do you not know how it works?
I raised them, and when they die I preserve them
How would anyone be able to kill a moth and keep it fully intact?!
i usually just post random comments unrelated to the videos i find but i love bugs
Yuk
Silence of the lambs moth. Awesome 💯
I thought these were called Stag Beetles?

Entomologist here if your about to say torture or animal abuse it’s not these insects are bought from insect farms on which they live a natural life and when they die to natural causes they are shipped around the world to be preserved in their glory

WE NEED TO STOP KIDS FROM THINKING PINNING DEAD INSECTS ARE ANIMAL ABUSE ITS DONE FOR LEARNING ABOUT THE ANIMAL
Poor butterflys😢😢
8?
Don't do this to them , let them fly 😢
These are dead, it's for the sake of conservation
This is cool but (no offence) disturbing 😅
yea it is kinda 😅
How come you didn’t turn it into a cyborg?
The main pin should be placed through the right side of the thorax btw..
So… this the way of do it, but how it looks the job done ?
I recommend using a relaxing chamber over this method. You can see my work on my IG or website

Just imagine, this is you.....
The butterfly was dead-
No more honey from that bee 🐝
👍🏻
Animal abuser 😡
Was this butterfly already dead?
From the looks of it, I think so
Masum pasu ke hathya kiu😡😤
Wo phele hi mara hua hai
I feel bad for the butterfly :(
Why do you rehydrate it? I’m curious because I always thought the drier the better because of bacteria?
Rehydration is needed to set the insect in a display position, after pinning it put I leave it to dry for 1-2 weeks, then unpin when its nice and dry. That way it will hold the new position
What was the needle for?
Injecting

Lil bro makes Jesus look like a joke 💀
I'm an adult woman, first of all 😂
Look at all those chickens

Why and where do you get these dead bugs
It's a mixture of places, some I raise myself (lots of scorps, beetles, tarantulas, mantises etc) and some from antique collections that I restore, or insect conservation projects or donated to me from friends or IG followers
Why though
BRO You KILLED TGEM
Nope
BRUH YOU KILLED ALL MOTHS?
Nope
First
Tier vergergewaltigung😢😢😢
Wow. No it isn't. It's dead
That’s not how you hydrate them the wing ms can be damaged
As it says in the title of the clip, I'm degreasing them not rehydrating. And this will not damage the wings
Oh
i thought the wings were also pinned? it looks strange with tape, or do you take it out later?
It's glassine paper, to be roved after the insect has dried back out
