Cecropia moth taxidermy class (Sunday August 16th)

Cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia) taxidermy pinning class
2 hrs | $110
August 16th, 5:00 Pm
Learn how to spread the wings of the largest silk moth in North America, which can have a
wingspan of up to 7 inches! The class will learn about the insect preservation process, pick out their very own hand-raised cecropia moth, pose them, and take them home on a foam pinning board to dry. If interested in further practicing at home, additional insect taxidermy supplies and insect specimens will be available for purchase in-store after class.
*Moths require very gentle hands, so this class is not recommended for young children.
Cecropia moths are known for sometimes seeping body oils after death, but this does not affect the quality of the moth and can be treated with a 100% fragrance-free acetone. We will go over how to do this during class, if any treatment is needed!
