that is common.. once you've got the hang of mounting insects you'll realise that they are actually very resilient.. no worries.. at the most break one leg.. but i doubt it.. if its been dead for less taht 4-5 days.. its safe... at least when i do it..haha..dont be scared.. jsut go for it.haha.. then if break at least you know how hard to push next time. its a learning process mah..

well..if its not for identification purposes and you just wanna have something in your collection to look at.. why not?

I never know you guys are into collecting dead insect as well.

**MrTree** · 27th Apr 2006, 12:01

I have a Trogonoptera brookiana on my wall...

Actually I am more into dead stuff than live ones....I've just started to collect TURTLE SHELLS. Takes one week to process from a fresh dead turtle, but not done by me.

**Nonn** · 27th Apr 2006, 16:15

Turtle? I would prefered them alive anyday! However, if they are already dead then, why the heck not.

Yup...since I was 10 years old, I already started to collect butterflies, then other insects. I even kept a horned-frog in the freezer before. (my mom was not happy to see a frog inside the freezer & asked me to take it away) But now, most of the butteflies specimen already donated to my school. No more room to keep those insects except some rare & beautiful species still inside my secret room.

Here is the latest pix of mt dead weevil.....

Rhinoceros beetle collected at Pueh few weeks ago. This one will be one of my perfect preserved specimens.

This happens to herp ppl very often.....I saw one fella's PYTHONS & MONITOR LIZARDS collection in the freezer simply because he doesn't know how to process...lucky he stays alone so there's nothing else other than the "specimens"....
