Sunset Moths Entomology Class Description: Unlock the artistry of entomology in our Introductory Bug Pinning Workshop! This hands-on experience is perfect for nature enthusiasts, aspiring entomologists, or anyone interested in the intricate craft of insect preservation. Join us as we guide you through the techniques of preparing and pining insects, transforming them into beautiful, display-ready specimens. The AM class will begin promptly at 10am and last 2.5 hours. You will learn the foundational skills of bug pinning, including safe collection methods, proper handling, and the step-by-step process of pinning and mounting your specimen. Class exclusive! Two specimens for the price of one! Your first specimen will be a moth or butterfly that will be used to practice your newly learned pinning technique. Once you?ve completed this step, we will move on to creating your unique frame and placing your Sunset Moth in its display case.
