 Good evening everyone,
I have a question: does anybody have tips how to ‘dry’ specimens from alcohol and get them pinned? How to get the wings dried properly?
Sometimes I would like to see a specimen pinned, because you can see the dusting better and because I prefer dry above working in alcohol.
Thanks for your tips!
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
