Insect spreading board, 12x4"
This is an inexpensive, firm-density polystyrene board (like hard, closed-cell styrofoam) that is designed for spreading insect wings prior to mounting. It is ideal for allowing butterfly wings to spread and dry. The spreading board has a body slot that is 3/8" deep and varies from 1/4" to 1/2" wide, depending on our supply.
Place a moth, butterfly, or other insect's body in the indentation on the spreading board, and pin a thin strip of paper over each wing to hold them flat until they dry out.

Okay for smaller collectionsReviewed By: Renee Not bad for the price. If you are serious about collecting then I would get a few more. The indent is kinda small for the larger moths that need to be spread for pinning. Overall not a bad investment.

A good buy!Reviewed By: Christopher Dement We bought this for my sons first year in 4H. A GREAT investment! Get 2 or more, if you plan on collecting a lot at one time because the board fills up fast. PLUS, the price is right so you will always have an extra on hand when you need it!
