We will be learning how to pin butterflies for display in this workshop!  Melody Hanssen, an insect taxidermist and owner of Micro Mayhem, will be leading this workshop.  Check out her work on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/micro_mayhem_melody/.  Participants will be educated on hydrating, pinning, drying, and displaying butterflies.  You will go home with a pinned butterfly that will need to finish drying before transferring., as well as a pinning board and display box.  Please note:  The butterflies will be non-native species as MN native butterflies are simply too expensive or too small to easily learn on.
