Beetle Pinning Class

We will be learning how to pin beetles 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 beetles.  You will go home with a pinned beetle that will need to finish drying before transferring., as well as a pinning board and display box.  Please note:  The beetles will be non-native species as MN native beetles are too expensive or too small to easily learn on.
