How can I preserve a hard bodied invertebrates body?

1 Answer

Answer :

here is a link to an article that takes you through it step by step. http://www.ehow.com/how_2228333_preserve-hardbodied-insects.html. A simple google search of “preserve insect” brought that up as the first or second hit. Seems to be spot on. I am new to fluther, and I don’t point this out to be a smart ass, but I notice this a lot- i.e. the questions people post on here often require far less effort to find your answer using google than it would to type the question and post it to fluther. I wonder if this is kind of for the fun of the experiment, like a just to see what comes back sort of deal, or if there is something I am missing. Again, I hope that does not come across as sarcastic. I’m honestly curious if you (an experienced user) feel there is some added value that I might be missing inputting it out there on fluther as opposed to running it through google. anyhow, happy mounting and sorry for your loss.
