What to do if you find a dead Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)?

I like that idea of starting a bug collection! I see that you also went to Fleming College (Frost). My only experience with bugs are aquatic ones that the Fish & Wildlife students had collected in the field. I’m not sure how to preserve bugs or if I need to buy a preservative. Any tips?

Are you a prof at Frost?

I’m in the same boat lol Just the aquatic ones they told us how to do. Perhaps you could dry bugs out with salt? Works for bird parts. I know at least you will need some insect pins lol
