Insect Pinning Workshop (Butterflies and Moths)

MBHI’s very own Museum Interpreter and Naturalist, Madeline Kleeman, will lead this exciting introductory workshop into the world of insect pinning!   Learn how to prepare insects for pinning, pin 2-3 specimen from our collection, and leave with instructions on some of the ways to mount your specimens when they are dry. Each participant will leave with the specimens that they pinned, including at least one butterfly/moth and one small insect, such as a beetle or bee.

Please note:  Pinning includes using sharp pins and working with delicate species, so attention to detail, manual dexterity, and patience are required.

Time: 6:00-8:00PM

Cost: $100/Non-Member and $80/Member

Advanced registration HERE is required as the workshop is limited to 12 people.
