TAXIDERMY CARESHEET

1. Environmental Conditions:

Sunlight: Keep your insect specimens away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the colours and damage the materials.

Heat: Avoid areas with high temperatures, as heat can accelerate deterioration.

Humidity: Store your taxidermied insects in a dry environment, away from bathrooms or areas with high humidity, which can cause mold and mildew growth.

2. Pest Control:

Book Lice:

If you suspect book lice, isolate the affected display and place it in the freezer for two weeks to kill any pests and eggs.

Quarantine:

If you're acquiring new specimens, ensure they are quarantined to prevent potential infestations.

3. Display:

Display Boxes or Domes:

Use display boxes or domes to protect your specimens from dust and accidental bumps.

Handling:

Handle the display with care, especially if the dome top is removable, as it can be fragile.

4. Cleaning:

Dusting: Dust the display regularly with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth.

Glass Cleaning: If necessary, remove the glass top (if it's not glued) and wash it with warm, soapy water, then dry thoroughly before reassembling.

5. Additional Tips:

Avoid Accidental Contact:

Place your taxidermied insects in areas where they won't be bumped or touched by children or pets.
