I have used #1, #2 and #3 insect pins of various manufacturers for the majority of specimens. All of these pins are generally about 38mm in length. I have some #5 and #7 pins that are 50mm in length. I am not aware of anyone that has 50mm length pins in size #2 or #3, but perhaps someone knows a source. Sometimes an extra long pin would come in handy for certain beetles and other large body insects. If someone knows, I would greatly appreciate the info.

Most of the specimens in my collection are mounted on #2 Insect Pins (Black Enameled with a Nylon Head. Large Saturnuds, Sphingids and other large moths are mounted on the longer #7 of the same type, Black Enameled with a Nylon Head.
I have not seen longer Insect Pins. Did not know they existed. Then again, I have never really looked.

Japanese pins are a little longer, over 42mm.
