Drying insects

I was digging around and found this crap (220v 250w) it shines relatively poorly, but it gives decent heat. I want to try it for drying.
Has anyone ever used one?

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I see you removed it from the straightener after 6 days. I also have pomonarii and orsosii since the seventh day. Can they be removed already?

My house is very dry right now, so everything dries up quickly. If you have the same and you are sure that they are dry, then take them off, but it is better to hold them longer if this case does not burn. I just couldn't stand it it was already

And longer - is it about two weeks, or even longer?

Uh-huh...if the abdomen is already dry, firm and does not go down, then hold it for another week and remove it. In general, everything dries differently for everyone, over time you will know exactly how much you need to keep.

once in Adjara, mattresses with morimus ver. with Alpine barbels, Kolhikus ave. and others stubbornly did not dry out because of 100% humidity, open mattresses lay in the sun and rotted .. and in the nightstand there was sugar and every

day the wet spot on the newspaper increased under the sahar

Collected in the summer with children rhinos that crawled out from under the stump and themselves dried up in the sun. I would like to keep them, but we don't know how. Medvedka we have crumbled all, and with these what to do? We are not entomologists, but rather observers, just beautiful beetles.

Dry, and store carefully.

Dry insects should be stored either on cotton mattresses or impaled on entomological pins (in the appropriate boxes). For decorative purposes, it is permissible to straighten (until the joints are dry and mobile) and stick them on the bottom of a glazed box (you probably saw such things in souvenir shops). And without this, they are practically impossible to save - the material is too brittle.
