Fantastic! Thank you so much for this. I found a monarch butterfly on the ground walking my dog the other day and thought it'd be a good chance to learn a bit about entomology, this is the only clear tutorial I've found.

This is the absolute best instructional butterfly mounting video I have yet seen. Thank you, I am just starting out learning how to mount my own insects, and this was an unbelievably huge help to me. You are articulate and well spoken, clear, and concise. I only wish it was longer! Thanks again.

That is just GORGEOUS. This is a great tutorial. I've been picking up a whole bunch of (recently) dead Red Admirals on my walks home, and now I know how to "fix" them so that I can mount and display them. I also have a few others that I might be able to mount.

What you are all failing to realize is that these butterflies are already dead. I just started to raise monarchs and not every butterfly emerges perfectly. I had to keep one because it's wings were crumpled and he was unable to fly. He passed away after about a week of me hand feeding him. I plan on doing this to immortalize him and treasure his imperfections. This video isn't about killing butterflies you idgits

buying these butterflies helps save the rain forest because instead of cutting and clearing the land the locals raise and harvest these beautiful butterflies to feed their families, unfortunately there are not enough collectors in the world to stop deforestation but by spreading the hobby like this man is doing he is saving the rain forest and you can to and it doesn't have to be just butterflies, there are amazing beetles, cicadas, mantises the list goes on and you can find them on ebay for sale

Question - once it's dried, how do you "relocate" it on the primary pin? I like mine to have a consistent 1/4 inch showing out the top, but my board won't let the pin sink in far enough... Also, as a note to everyone whining about the "poor bugs", the company he buys from (I recognize it) farms their butterflies "in-house" - they aren't taken from the wild. It's an awesome company.

I put pinesol and water in a crumpled tissue in a jar and put the butterfly on top and waited like 15 mins and it became soft, used wax paper because I dont have any tracing paper but it still turned out ok, had a lot of scratches but the butterfly was still beautiful to me and I'm thankful for this video even if I didnt follow your specific instructions, it was still helpful as I found a mite on the butterfly under the microscope and felt the need that I should do something pretty with it before mites devour it x

Is it possible to keep the abdomen "plump" not shriveled, after its mounted? I bought some birdwings and the seller says its not possible to have a life like abdomen - flat or curled abdomens are typical. Thanks for the informative video.

+Kurtise Templeton The chamber relaxes the mucles and hydrates the specimen. It's so you can move the butterfly around easier. If you dont take this step you will most likely damage the specimen.

ambam1977, this is an excellent video. A question arose at 2:34. "Can I use regular, writing paper?" Your video is so good, it answered my question at 6:05. I have basic entomological knowledge and it has always been a dream of mine to catalogue the Lepidoptera in my region. I live in south-eastern New-Brunswick, in Canada. I started looking into insect collecting this year as I have never seen such an abundance of butterflies and moths in my area and your video has peaked my interest. Thanks!!
