Lorquin Entomological Society insect pinning workshop
Bedros Orchanian, Dave Wikle, and Ken Osborne will hold a pinning workshop before the scheduled meeting next Friday evening, June 24, 2011, from 6 to 8 pm at Bio Quip Products, 2321 Gladwick Street, Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220.
The workshop is Free, anybody interested in collecting and studying insects is welcome, Lorquin members and non-members alike. The workshop will cover basic butterfly and moth pinning and spreading techniques, and will be presented by Bedros Orchanian with assistance from Dave Wikle and Ken Osborne. Ken will present his magnetic spreading board technique and Dave will be pinning some smaller material and show why his hair is thinning.
There will be lots of beautiful butterfly and moth specimens to practice on, from locally caught moths to treasures from the freezer, and you get to take home what you mount.
What to bring: The pins, foam pinning boards and the specimens to pin will be provided, however you can bring your own materials if you have any.
Please contact Bedros Orchanian if you are planning to attend the workshop, or if you have any questions at: borchanian@att.net
