Hello!
Spreads last a long time pressed bear Kaya.
On the front there is a mechanism of the wings of the spring return of the wing: the hook on the wing and body stiff bristles, which is for the hair clings.
Who can tell us about that moment or recommend literature. Thank you.

I'd add that when a butterfly sufficiently softened in the desiccator take insulin syringe and inject it safely in the chest a few drops of warm water and then gently drag her wings to develop muscles. After these operations, crushes material generally no problem.
P.S. Hook it at the lower of butterflies called "Yugum" (lat. Jugum).This is for information only. Good luck :)

Not shallow crushes almost everything to cheer. Heavily while only micro.
About the "mechanisms" in the wings for some reason, do not write "to the general" public, although it is very interesting, I think.

The front wing hook called "Yugum" and rear recess beneath it, the wings are engaged with each other in flight and work synchronously, but it is only at many raznousyh ("nighttime") butterflies. In Rhopalocera (so-called "day") front wing lies "overlap" in the back and it performs the same function: no hooks are not needed here. So I think :)
