The one-horned fairy, or "Brother Kamito", is a small beetle belonging to the order Coleoptera. It is known for its distinctive angular protrusions and is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. The unicorn is loved by insect lovers for its gorgeous appearance and variety of species, and also occupies a place in the field of insect taxidermy and collecting.
The process of preparing a specimen of rhinoceros is relatively complex, requiring a certain degree of entomological knowledge and detailed operational skills. First of all, it is necessary to select a healthy individual, generally selecting a large and complete individual to ensure the beauty and ornamental value of the specimen. After capture, the wings and body of the insect are fixed in time to prevent deformation during drying. Normally, a needle is used to secure the unicorn to the display board and gradually adjust its wings and legs to the desired position.
Drying is a key step in preparing a specimen and usually requires placing the specimen in a cool, ventilated place to ensure that it dries naturally. The drying process takes a certain amount of time, usually a few days to a few weeks. When finished, the specimen will retain its shape and its color. In addition, the preservation environment of the specimen is also very important, too high humidity may lead to mildew, and direct sunlight may fade the color.
The specimen is not only an ornamental work of art, but also has scientific research and educational significance. By looking at specimens, students and nature lovers can gain insight into the ecology, living habits and taxonomy of the unicorn. Many schools and natural museums use these specimens for teaching and display, helping people better understand and protect these precious insects.
