Insect taxidermy is the practice of preserving and displaying insects for educational, scientific, or decorative purposes. This process involves carefully removing the insect's body, treating it to prevent decay, and then mounting it in a way that showcases its features. Common techniques include pinning the insect to a display board or encasing it in resin. This art form is often used in entomology, the study of insects, to help researchers and enthusiasts learn about different species. Insect taxidermy can also be found in museums and collections, where it serves to educate the public about biodiversity and the importance of insects in ecosystems.
