I have big problem with glued-up wings, when I am getting my flies off the 70% ethanol. I want to pin the specimen then, so do you have any tips how to do that? How to dry? When I use some paper (vegetal), the wings are still distorted or glued on body or glued-up with each other.:( When I give the specimen back into the ethanol, wings are nicely straight.
