Mounting of insects

How about mounting large beetles like Eupatorus, Chalcosoma on large dies?

delirium and schizophrenia of pure water. Prick on a pin and that's it!!!!! Why glue it?????

Dim,someone very categorically you put it.The method of installation can be and-gluing on dies, I note-prick thicker and straighten then thicker, and glue harder and longer,but in my opinion it turns out more aesthetically pleasing, and the beetle is not pricked, although the lower elements are always closed.Linnaeus did not have many components, otherwise he could also glue everything together...

In no case do I deny the need for a sticker. I myself came to the conclusion this year that horses need to be glued to dies. But in this context, we are talking about gluing SUPER-LARGE beetles, which need to be pricked, and not beaten with bespontovye devices.

I also constantly improve in the sticker, some of them will be remounted 3 times,just by myself....

If the collection is created as a working tool, then the availability of the feature is important even for already defined content, otherwise it is difficult to compare it with new content, which you need to do all the time.
If the survey is based on two factors (prick+corners/glue only on dies, the goal is scientific/artistic), then the statistics will be more visual.

I agree completely-for many types of glue-purely artistic, especially bronzes-nifiga is not visible...

The sticker is, no matter what anyone says, just a tribute to fashion and compliance with the principle professed by its adherents (disputed, in my opinion)of the integrity of the copy.

A game of commerce in the first place.

I combine both on the die and on the triangle (or rather, for large pentagons, the pentagon is incorrect) and sometimes I prick the carabiners from one place-so that the aesthetics would be and you can see from below, but I prick a number of groups of large ones in principle.
