Complete Butterfly Mounting Kit with Spreading Board, PRESERVED BUTTERFLIES, entomology tweezers and more! Pinning Kit
Everything you need to start pinning butterflies and moths! We've made some BIG changes to our butterfly spreading/mounting kit to make it MORE AFFORDABLE and EASIER TO USE!
Butterfly Spreading Kit includes professional grade polyethylene high-density foam pinning board (MUCH better and easier to use than the styrofoam or loose cell foam boards generally included in kits + they're MADE IN THE USA), 100 entomology pinning needles (Size 2 for butterflies), 12 glassine wing strips (to hold wings in place while pinning), spade tip entomology tweezers (with smooth tips to avoid damaging wings), and 3 REAL, dried, preserved butterflies to practice on. Includes link to video and description for detailed pinning/spreading instructions.
Beginning butterfly pinning can be a challenging process so we've worked hard to create the best how-to videos available! Links to access these how-to instructional videos for free will be provided with kit.
NOTE: Butterflies included will be randomly selected species, and may all be the same species.
Great for entomology students, collectors, hobbyists, and butterfly artists. These kits are essential for anyone buying dried, papered butterflies, and will allow you to open up the wings of the butterflies. Your butterflies can then be used in frames, art, or displayed.
These boards are also made right here in the USA, and unlike other foam, use a 0% ozone depletion process :)
Boards may vary in coloration from photos, depending on foam colors available.
Board measurements: 5” wide, 12” long, and 2” deep with a 1/4” by 1/4” groove.
We are happy to help you along the way if you have any questions about the process or need help spreading your butterflies, just ask!
