Insect taxidermy is a way of preserving and displaying insects and is widely used in education, research and collecting. Preparation of insect specimens usually requires specimen treatment after collection, including drying, fixing and securing in specimen boxes. The preparation process involves attaching the insects to the specimen board with needles and treating them with preservatives to prevent rot and insect infestation.
Insect specimens are not only used to show the morphological characteristics of insects, but also for scientific research. By observing insect specimens, researchers can learn about insect classification, ecological habits, and evolutionary history. In addition, insect specimens are an important reference value for insect enthusiasts and educators to help them better understand the diversity and biological characteristics of insects.
The preservation and display of specimens also vary, often including the use of transparent specimen boxes or display stands for easy observation and protection. The collection and display of insect specimens is not only a means of scientific research, but also a sign of respect and appreciation for the wonderful creatures of nature.
