About zazhirivaniye
you wrote in a subject where as not to discuss it in social networks...
Butterflies are bastards and look terrible, sometimes druses of some crystals fall out on them, and sometimes as a result of interaction with old pre-revolutionary pins, some blue-green oxide grows in the butterfly's chest, which tears the specimen to hell, including types. Let's leave the old copies. What to do with our...
Right on the pin with the label, you throw the butterfly into aviation gasoline for 3 hours. You take it out-you blot it with toilet paper from the bottom and dry it just by injecting it into a secluded place or gently blowing the force of your lungs on the copy. The results can be staggering. Once I took a series of lard slices from southern Kazakhstan and soaked them in gasoline. There were three types. One new one for science.
Large specimens, especially the South Asian huge xyleutes, require an exposure of at least 12 hours.
I was able to pass through gasoline about 30 thousand cossids in the Witt collection and at my home. The work is titanic, but then you see completely different butterflies.
THANK YOU TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS FOR PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS TOPIC!!!

Almost like I do

On the example of large cossids:

1. Exposure for at least 2 days (until the gasoline takes on a furacilin color)
2. The volume of gasoline is not less than 300 ml. (gasoline or "Galosha" or "Zippo". The latter is very expensive).
3. Preferably expensive napkins (we first tear off the blotting layer from the decorative one and cut the strips).
4. Lay out strips (in 2 layers) of the straightening dies.
5. We quickly inject copies. in the slot of the straightener, quickly moving the butterfly along the length of the slot and not forgetting to blot the upper side of the crl., pressing strips of paper to it with a column brush.
6. Evaporate the remaining gasoline, blowing ex. air of the lungs.

We get copies. no worse than the newly born
