Detailed explanation-1: -The Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) collection contains many unique and historic specimens, including the world’s oldest pinned insect – a bath white butterfly dating to 1702.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pinning and Labeling Insects. Page 1. The preferred way to display and study adult insects is to pin them into display boxes using special insect pins. The pins are pushed through the thorax of the insects while they are still fresh and the legs and antennae are placed in a natural position.
Detailed explanation-3: –Pin through the center of thorax between the bases of fore wings. In the absence of specific information, pin insects through the thorax just to the right of center. One-half inch of the pin should project above the insect for easier handling of the specimen.
