Click image to enlarge

Base gallery. Upperside. Pinned specimen.

Photo, and identified by: Vasiliy Feoktistov. Image without retouching at the website

Place of shooting/catching: Malaysia

Photographer's comment: The result of daily soaking in Galosha gasoline. Butterflies of this family after drying are covered with a thick layer of fat and all, without exception, dry material on Cossidae has a rather deplorable state. I recommend that anyone who is faced with using the above method of getting rid of fat. !Important! It is necessary to bathe the already straightened material. Gasoline strongly "tanned" the insect and then it does not lend itself to straightening.
