Soaking insects

The participant's profile is also funny

No, but what did you want? Pinocchio has many faces: Hieropis, Fluorine, Chlorine, Mir (there was also something "banned")...
And forumchane "conducted"... have "it" on occasion, answering questions.

Justus, no kidding, it's mushrooms, right!?? Fly Agaric probably Siberian? Dried??
And then all sorts of people write - "Solntsedar, Solntsedar"...

Mr. Muscle isn't here, just alcohol won't do?
and how long to wet for example Chalcosoma caucasus? how do you even know that it is ready to be unfolded? Just the first time. I'm afraid to break it.
Can I put several beetles at once?

The most interesting thing is that as soon as I put a copy in the box , the next day it's completely dry (and with the wings lowered...)

I am now in plastic containers and soaking, but the condensate from the lid constantly drips on the material. It is passed to put at an angle so that it rolls down-it is not convenient enough. It's easier to get a desiccator

I soaked an insect, but its ass fell off.
What should I do?

Not quite on the topic, but where is it better to dry straightened insects? In the closet or on the window?

The one who did it I did not see, but I expect kozheedy. Now I think before...

maybe birds? I don't think the leatherheads would have worked that fast...

Slava the balcony is glazed, but not airtight

So where is better?

So where is better?

Ilya will share a bitter experience, a few years ago I caught pigeons and decided to quickly dry them out on the balcony, it was very hot there. A couple of days later, remembering that there were butterflies on the balcony, I went in and couldn't believe my eyes, only the wings under the tracing paper were left of the butterflies. The one who did it I did not see, but I expect kozheedy. Now I think before...

Even wasps could, I've had this happen(((

In the Krasnodar Region, with dried insects, very small ants, black in color, do this....

Dear participants, here is the question.
At the end of the night fishing for butterflies, I often do not have the strength and time to spread them out - I have to postpone the spread until the next day, and in the afternoon, sometimes, the work is piled up, and I have to push it all the way to the evening.
Small moths and scoops at the same time have time to dry out quite a bit - to the point of non-inferiority.

Do I understand correctly that if you immediately put freshly caught butterflies in a vessel for soaking, then even small moths will still last about a day in a straightening state?

What are you soaking up? This is me to the fact that in pairs of ethyl acetate they lie in the stain for about a day and even now edit.

Vasily, I'm soaking it in ethyl acetate vapors, in a stain. I buy ethyl acetate at entomon.ru - high-quality.
Many times I have observed exactly the opposite effect: if you overexpose a butterfly in the stain, it "dubeyet". I forgot to take the big female endromis out of the stain and kept her there for five hours. Then it was very difficult to straighten it out - it became stiff (of course, it couldn't dry out in such a long time).
Pyadenitsy dubeyut already in 40-50 minutes.

So what about the fresh-caught ones in the desiccator? It seems like it should help.

hi, how to soak acteons? I soak them as usual, in a closed container with water floating on foam, but small ones get soaked in a couple of days, and acteons are already the 3rd day, but they look completely motionless

And where do these individuals   come from ????

bandnitsy in the brew fell and apparently lay there all night   what to do, how to wash?

People, sorry for the stupid question, still a beginner.I reread the entire topic, but I still didn't understand the sequence of actions...I have a large number of undrawn butterflies (mainly hawkmoth and nymphalids) and the desire to spread them.I don't have a desiccator.There is a large round glass dish with an airtight lid.If I understand, then I pour warm water there, throw phenol, a piece of foam with butterflies on it on the water?And that's it?Please tell me.
