Insects on Display: A Guide to Mounting & Displaying Insects Review

Buy From Amazon.com

Insects On Display is a family craft how-to book and a book for crafters who like careful hand work. Described and illustrated are the steps necessary to create beautiful displays (case and dome) using real (but dead) insects and craft supplies. Even the most squeamish family members can be involved in this instructive hobby. And it's the perfect next step to help children display the specimens they captured and cared for. This book is the companion to The Insect Book: A Basic Guide to the Collection and Care of Common Insects for Young Children (ISBN 1-56825-037-1). Insects On Display will teach you how to 1] identify insect body parts (to help you follow the mounting instructions), 2] mount butterflies and moths (meaning to arrange them for presentation), 3] mount hard-shell insects (like beetles), 4] handle difficult-to-mount insects (like mantids), and 5] display specimens in cases and domes. Skills are highly illustrated, supplies and their sources are listed (including online sources), and it features a glossary, a suggested reading list and an index.
