Dongsheng Art | Insect head carving bottom plate a box of 10 into (S) # NWS-01

**Insect specimen plate design concept** The inspiration for the base of the insect head sculpture comes from the way in which only the head is kept as a specimen when hunting in Europe and America. In the breeding process of Coleoptera beetles, the larval stage often takes one or two years, and the success or failure of eclosion is almost equal to the results of one or two years of effort. However, the stronger the larval stage, the higher the risk of eclosion failure, and Adults that fail to eclotheate have crooked wings and stab their abdomen inwardly. Not only will the adults die in a short time, but it is also very difficult and unsightly to make a complete specimen of the tattered and corrupted body for collection as a souvenir. And the end result is that two years of hard work go to waste, abandoned or returned to the dust. **Examining why insects fail to emerge** * Individual varieties pursue extreme performance, excessive generation * Deformed body shape with individual variation * Genetic problems of hermaphrodites * The pupal chamber collapses or external force intervenes in eclosion The very important key is that most of the beetles whose eclosion failed for these reasons have very complete heads and are valuable for collection. Therefore, the presentation method of the European and American head specimens in the chain is suitable for the beetles that failed to emerge, and the beetles that failed to emerge have more added value and breeding commemorative significance. Since then, no specimens can be left to prove the breeding records due to eclosion failure, nor can the beetle body be incomplete and cannot be collected in the specimen box. By retaining the head, the beetle tooth shape can be preserved, and whether there is Extreme proof, or leave a one-thousandth variation angle as a record. Therefore, after measuring the body size of dozens of beetles, two sizes of insect-specific head sculpture bases were launched, which can be applied to about 60% of beetle species on the market, giving beetle breeders another choice for specimen presentation.
