5 Horn Rhino Mounting 2 hours 1:00PM – 3:00PM 6 seats available
For our second act, we will be pinning and mounting large beetles. Each participant will go home with their very own 5 horned rhino beetle, eupatorus gracilicornis, what happens after that is between you and your maker; framed mount, or bell jar baby, the sky is the limit! These can be mounted wings in or wings out for extra flare.
While the specimen you receive has been made flexible and soft, additional dry specimens will be available for purchase,
don’t worry… we will cover all the things you need to know to get them ready for mounting in your own home, or by a
ready made kit for that budding entomologist you might have in mind!
Sexy Butterfly Mounting 1.5 hours 4:00PM – 5:30PM (extra time allowed) 6 seats available
These delicate critters can seem like a daunting challenge for a first timer, but with a little knowledge and a guiding hand, you will be able to start collecting specimens and mounting them yourself! We will talk about several preservation methods and also different ways to present your flutterby. We will also have a few extra specimens for the “heavyhanded” if at first you don’t quite succeed. We will be using the beautifully iridescent Urania sunset moth.(I know, I said butterfly, but this is a species that is a
moth in name only. google it.)
