How to preserve a female giant prickly insect

I have four beautiful female extatosoma tiaratum (I have males but I don’t think those will give me much of an issue when pinning), and they will start dying soon. They have been wonderful to me and I would like to preserve them in some way. But I’m not sure how to go about it. I’ve pinned different insects before but these have bodies that are so thick, and so soft. I fear I will do it wrong and they will rot. Any tips or ideas?
