P-40 - Insect Preservation For Hands-on Outreach Projects

Wednesday, March 5, 2025
12:15 PM – 1:45 PM AST
Location: Hall A
Abstract: This poster presents novel, cost-effective techniques for preserving insects using resin and hand sanitizer gel. Both methods create durable, long-lasting displays that are suitable for hands-on outreach projects, allowing people to safely handle specimens. The techniques are accessible, easy to learn, and provide a valuable tool for promoting community awareness, interest, and education about local insects. By creating hardy and simple specimens, these methods offer a new up-close and personal way for children and adults to observe and appreciate the diversity of insect life.
