Hi Doc. Have not tried it yet, although during the summer I found some dead and naturally dried beetles, moths and butterflies. I kept them, but I don't know until when they will last. I have not yet studied the method of preservation.

Hi Agnes! Will take some more pics once I encounter it again. What can you say about preserving moth specimens for reference? I've been trying to study the method and have tried on some dead moths.

Hi Benigno.. Would you have other pictures of this moth, showing other angles? This looks like a Crambid Moth from Subfamily Acentropinae - http://www.leapfrogoz.com.au/LeapFrogOz/Crambidae_Acentropinae.html. Regards!!
