I thought I was going to learn how to calm down my living pet insects, but this will prove quite useful once they reach the taxidermy stage.

Vinegar prevents mold. So does salt.

Annie Laura thanks! I saw a video that mentioned another type of preservative that can't be bought for consumer use.

So just any type of salt? And in the crystal version that it comes in when bought from store? For the insects?

salt will rust your insect pins and leave white spots on the insects

I thought i was guna learn how to calm down our Velvet ant 🤣🤣 this was deff interesting tho and maybe i will give it a try!

To relax coleopteras, I put them directly in between warm and hot water for few minutes. To avoid mold, I use alcohol (white) vinegar

U r funny 😂

Do you need to dry out the inside of the beetle 🪲 if u were wanting to put them in resin to preserve them? How would you go about this? Do you have a video?

Where's the spreading video? I was excited for that one!

Can I put them in boiling for 5 minutes? Seen someone do that would you recommend it if i need it done quickly

background music horribly distracting

I'm an expert at these situations. Scream and run away. Works every time. Its called survival.

where can i buy a stag beetle?

someone recommend me how to soften the brittle insects for my scientific dissection project

Is it just water you use?

Adding that last paper towel on top is a bad idea if you are working with fragile (most) insects. Fine for the stout beetles seen here though.

I seen a video where someone fold paper towel around a butterfly, dampens it, puts it in the fridge for a couple days, and then gently unfolded it and the butterfly (which is delicate) wasn't harmed at all. Looked perfect

How do you open the elytra of a rhino beetle??? I'm afraid I might break the elytra. Help please!!!

Blue Beetle how’d it turn out?

does this also work with butterflies? cause if you spray them with the tissue on top their wings will probably get damaged

@@missymihlfread8832 this has not been my experience, sometimes there are tiny tears in the membrane from the dehydrating process and the wings can turn translucent when they come in contact with water -that dries out eventually but it absorbs resin too

for butterflies you should avoid direct contact with water or moisture. You can place your insect on a mesh above wet/hot towels in your closed box. For bigger butterflies (also work with other insects), you can inject water inside them with a syringe.

Are you using just water in that?

excuse me, how to relax a tiny lepidoptera insect? So I can take a picture of their wings

Cool👍 can you send to Hawaii?? 🐜🦂🐛🦀🕷🦋

Hey, i was wondering if too old dead beetles can still be relaxed? Or they can be very brittle?
