One question I do have:- what to do with genitalia once they have become separated:- if they are put back with the specimen they might get lost but it would be dreadful practice to put them in another tube from the original specimen.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this
If the specimen is going to be stored long-term in alcohol (and there are arguments for extracting and pinning or slide-mounting all specimens that are to be kept) then you can put disected genitalia in a glass or plastic microvial and store that in the tube with the specimen.
