Framing a death head moth

Post by Nicole »

I have a customer who is bringing me a mounted Death head moth in for framing. Are there any special issues that I should be aware of when framing dead insects? Any comments welcome.

Yes, Dead insects can food for live insects. Think carefully about how you will prevent live insects from getting in.

Or perhaps you can arrange to leave a slot where the customer can insert a sheet of moth paper every six months.
