Dried papered butterflies:legs making a rip in the anal fold

[lordpandarus]

Something I noticed over time. Sometimes in a papered butterfly the rear leg will be dried up in a too high position and resting against the anal fold creating a rip . It's not something you can avoid even if the specimen is labelled A1

Are collectors aware of this to place the legs properly when putting the specimen in the envellope?

it's a pain to deal with anal fold rips because they get worse when setting as the rip gets wider so you have to repair it before setting

I wish this were the greatest challenge in my life too.
