Is there a way to put insects etc in modern transparent materials (plastic?) for preservation, somewhat like amber incusions?

Hi Crex. If you visit African country, you will find at any market a lot of varios insecta preserved in epoxid as "local souvenir". Most of all it will be scorpions. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Yes, my father once brought me, from Turkey, a souvenir key ring with a cricket embedded in epoxy resin, with Chinese inscriptions on it (so appearantly imported from there). The epoxu was polished afterwards. I suppose you can embed any dry object in epoxy, though preserving the colours may be a problem. |
