I guess it isn’t as simple as sticking a pin in it like thumbtacking a message on a bulletin board.

  Hello

  At flutterbugz we do demonstrations and expert instruction on mounting pinning and presneting butterflies, moths and other insects..

  the first thing we teach is to maintain hands free set-up.
  we also help prevent scale loss by using the proper implement..
  most implements need to be modified to the hand of the preparer.

  Another aspect is the setting board. beginners should opt for foam boards…
  if you need more info contact me at nshape2@cox.net

  framed butterfly presentations make great keepsakes, special occasion mementos, and one of kind knick knacks.. see what I mean
  at Flutterbugz… type in butterflymaster on Ebay..
