3D Printed Adjustable Deep V Shaped Spreading Board

Adjustable deep V shaped spreading board for mounting winged insects. This spreading board is shaped so that the insect's wings are at a more natural position. The bolt can be loosened to allow the two sides to slide and tightened to snuggly hold the insect in place. The top is covered in 6mm of EVA foam. Picture shows older option of 3mm foam that is no longer available. Updated version has wing nuts on the bolts to make it even easier to adjust and a base for pinning the body into. Size is suitable for any size Lepidoptera, even a morpho. The moth demonstrates how the wings will look after being spread on this board. Add a butterfly spreading kit to your purchase for $25. Kit includes stainless steel offset spade-tipped forceps, 8 pieces of paper for pinning down the wings, 100 size 2 pins in a resealable storage tube, a syringe with a regular and small sized interchangeable needle, and 3 practice butterflies. Practice butterfly species will vary but will be craft grade. No refunds for broken antennae or damaged wings as that is typical for craft grade and these are only intended for butterfly pinning practice.
