[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 7972618, member: 77704"]I broke a few dried butterfly specimens when my mounting techique failed. A friend of mine was too impatient in relaxing his prized Ornithoptera Alexandrae male. He broke the wing muscles in forcing them into position. End result a 10K butterfly was ruined:( However, with coins/ thankfully no mounting is required/ basically there to look at and admire:) Sometimes I do have to carefully remove auction coins from their flips into my SAFLIPS/ but I am super carefull not to touch them with my fingers (wearing coin gloves) The O. paradisea males top are tough to mount/ the drab female below is easy.[ATTACH=full]1383113[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
