How to relax insects

This is not the only way to do this. There are many ways but this is the way I was taught so it's the way I prefer.

How to clean a preserved specimen, in this case a Goliathus beetle which I purchased from a collector yesterday. It's not the best looking beetle which allows me to try a few different techniques to enhance the appearance and share. This technique was suggested to me by the seller.
Pooring them a warm bubble bath and putting old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy usually does the trick too😂
Do you need to dry out the inside of the beetle 🪲 if u were wanting to put them in resin to preserve them? How would you go about this? Do you have a video?
excuse me, how to relax a tiny lepidoptera insect? So I can take a picture of their wings
Hey, i was wondering if too old dead beetles can still be relaxed? Or they can be very brittle?
this is an old comment but yea should work as long as they are dry enough not to decompose/grow mold
someone recommend me how to soften the brittle insects for my scientific dissection project
Oy! 😲 creepy! 🕷️ Is it a hobby of yours?
Mothballs are toxic to humans dumbass lol
hi im WerWieWas lol😅😅😂🤪
Was keen to see the spreading video but saw there isn't one...8 years later lol
I would highly recommend take the specimen apart because those spot are caused by the oil from organs decomposing inside, using glue will only remove dirt outside and will not make any differences
Cool👍 can you send to Hawaii?? 🐜🦂🐛🦀🕷🦋
What is your instagram username ? I want to get information about this subject
Cleaning sure all you are doing is destroying them as they are becoming endangered. Don't bother leave them in their own habitat.
That doesn't look very smart to me
I thought i was guna learn how to calm down our Velvet ant 🤣🤣 this was deff interesting tho and maybe i will give it a try!
wow you dont know what your talking about holyshit fool wow
Can I put them in boiling for 5 minutes? Seen someone do that would you recommend it if i need it done quickly
how do you relax? :0
what the hell are you doing wow you do not have use glue to clean it wow water only
wow you guys dont know what your doing it only took 4 hours the to open big big beetle only 4 wow
I am out in youtube again
I thought I was going to learn how to calm down my living pet insects, but this will prove quite useful once they reach the taxidermy stage.
Lol
To relax coleopteras, I put them directly in between warm and hot water for few minutes. To avoid mold, I use alcohol (white) vinegar
How do you apply the vinegar?
@@rizzall509Mixed in the water probably (I do that with alcohol too)
Are you using just water in that?
With a massage
U r funny 😂
What is the easiest mathod to kill insect without damaging them.....?
Arvind Bhosle natural causes
Freezer
put them in a closed jar with acetone
I don't think there is a nice way to kill em'. The freezer you just don't have to see them die.
Adding that last paper towel on top is a bad idea if you are working with fragile (most) insects. Fine for the stout beetles seen here though.
I seen a video where someone fold paper towel around a butterfly, dampens it, puts it in the fridge for a couple days, and then gently unfolded it and the butterfly (which is delicate) wasn't harmed at all. Looked perfect
where can i buy a stag beetle?
They are dead
And maby there fake
... they are dead
Sorry i love bugs but i think it is realy bad to just kill bugs and than put them on nals some bugs are in grave danger eaven closs to extinction because of are ways bees are about to be extinct because of parisits and pollution
Terri Cannon you seem very young. It’s ok MOST bugs aren’t in danger and some we have too much of. It’s case by case
I doubt he killed them since he put a link of where to buy them on the video lmao
Just want people to know that killing males of beetle aren’t that much of threat to the whole species, the real threat to them is lost of habitat, and in fact, many beetles are endangered right now so please be careful of the kind of information you’re spreading
Are they dead!?
Sulaini Ibrahim of course they are you fucking idiot
No they are pretending
How did he get that giant black and white beetle
Andi man goliathus sp*
Are they actually dead or just sleeping when you pin them?
They'll die either way. If it's the first,it is natural death. If they're asleep, they'll die by impaled by nails😂😅
Hahahahahha
the bugs look fake
well they aren't. The biggest one is called Goliathus: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliathus
exactly
i don't see any difference
i use to clean my vinyl records in the same way
background music horribly distracting
Vinegar prevents mold. So does salt.
Annie Laura thanks! I saw a video that mentioned another type of preservative that can't be bought for consumer use.
So just any type of salt? And in the crystal version that it comes in when bought from store? For the insects?
salt will rust your insect pins and leave white spots on the insects
glass cleaner prevents mold really well
Is the spray bottle water?
Mike Flores yes
How do you open the elytra of a rhino beetle??? I'm afraid I might break the elytra. Help please!!!
Blue Beetle how’d it turn out?
lskjflksjkljkdsl thats a fucking giant insect idk what i'd do with my life if i ever came in contact with it
Jessica Ivy obviously pin it
I'm an expert at these situations. Scream and run away. Works every time. Its called survival.
take him, and put him in your mouth. If you’re cold, they’re cold. 🥰
does this also work with butterflies? cause if you spray them with the tissue on top their wings will probably get damaged
Wings are water resistant
@@missymihlfread8832 this has not been my experience, sometimes there are tiny tears in the membrane from the dehydrating process and the wings can turn translucent when they come in contact with water -that dries out eventually but it absorbs resin too
for butterflies you should avoid direct contact with water or moisture. You can place your insect on a mesh above wet/hot towels in your closed box. For bigger butterflies (also work with other insects), you can inject water inside them with a syringe.
Is there a way of removing mold
+Laura Tinajero There's no real way to remove the mold other than gently scraping it off. Preventative measures are the best way.
acetone helps a bit, also Barber's fluid
