3D Printed Adjustable Extra Wide Flat Spreading Board
Adjustable extra wide flat spreading board for mounting large winged insects. 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. Base is lined with 6mm EVA for pinning the body into place. Size is suitable for any size Lepidoptera but specifically designed to fit those with the largest wingspans (Atlas moth shown has wingspan of 10 inches). 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.
