Abstract
The present invention provides a mixture that serves for the preservation of Coleoptera to preserve its exoskeleton and its ornamental appearance; reinforce the exoskeleton of the coleopterous to minimize their fragility; improve the preservation of the insect by making an internal preparation that prevents rupture of the exoskeleton caused by blows, manipulation or pressure on it.
Claims8
An entomological taxidermy process to reinforce a coleopteran exoskeleton comprising steps of:
- sectioning of the coleopteran exoskeleton into:
- a thorax, an abdomen and a head;
- removing of entrails and a elytra of the abdomen of the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- filling and assembling of the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- reincorporating of the elytra on the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- drying of the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- removing of limbs of the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- and
- final cleaning of the coleopteran exoskeleton;
- characterized in that during the step of filing and assembling of the coleopteran exoskeleton, two mixtures are used to fill the coleopteran exoskeleton:
- a first mixture of marble powder and pigment-free varnish solution (A), and
- a second mixture of cellulose and pigment-free varnish solution (B).
