Hello everyone. I am interested in mounting insect taxidermy (not totally sure what the correct terminology is, forgive me)! I found this Esty shop that sells cheap specimens (https://www.etsy.com/shop/InsectArt?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=811027192) and I'm inspired.
I've heard that pinning is the most common technique, but given that I'm a beginner, I'm afraid I'll accidentally rip the wings/legs/antenna off. This might be a silly question, but what's wrong with just super gluing the insects in a shadow box? Is this bad technique? Will this ruin the insect? I'm not planning on selling them or anything, would just like them for my own collection.
Thanks in advance!
