That is a beautifully spread specimen!
To me, this is both encouraging and discouraging at once.
Well hopefully more encouraging – but why discouraging?
This looks awfully complicated compared to the animals I normally work with (moth flies – डिप्टेरा: Psychodidae). For each specimen of these I just have to
– fix the little bugger in ethanol
– dissect their bodies into tagmata, including removing the wings
– mount the wings on microscope slides
– bleech the remaining animal, most often by boiling them for a day in KOH
– acidify each dissected specimen (to balance out the KOH)
– dehydrate each dissected specimen in consecutive alcohol baths
– mount the head, thorax and abdomen on the same microscope slide as the wings without squashing any of them too flat to see the diagnostic characters
– wait some weeks for the slides to dry.
This microlepidoptera mounting does on the other hand seem like lots of work. It does, हालांकि, seem quite rewarding; I will probably try some of these methods later in the season.
