Hehe, did you buy a new batch of triangular bag specimens? Rich people. .
Butterfly softening is nothing more than "chemical softening" and "water softening". I thought that the chemical treatment should be more advanced and high-end, but I went to the insect forum and asked, without exception, it was better to soften the water treatment. . . Awkward. . .
water softening is not to soak the specimen in water and cook it, but to soften the dried butterfly specimen with the steam of boiling water, and then further shape the specimen. . The key point is not to let the butterfly touch the boiling water as much as possible, but to fully extract the hot steam to make it work. At the same time, we should grasp the degree of softening at any time. Generally speaking, the belly of the butterfly is slightly elastic, and the wing spreading degree and shape of the butterfly wing can be adjusted greatly. (Be careful! Remember, remember! The elasticity of the butterfly, which is soft from dryness, has dropped a lot, and I almost tore off the hind wings, tentacles and so on several times. . ) at this time, you can put on the wings to make specimens!
Be careful when making specimens. Pay attention to the shape of tentacles and the symmetry of wing spread. After softening, the butterfly will dry again. Try to prevent it from softening twice or many times! Because it will inevitably affect the long-term preservation of butterfly specimens.
