Five specimens available. All ages welcome. No experience necessary.

Learn to prepare and spread for display one Malayan jungle nymph specimen to keep. These gigantic specimens represent the world’s heaviest stick insect and measure about 10” end to end when prepared.

All tools are included and are yours to keep as well, and the workshop includes follow-up information so you can frame and display your specimen at home and repeat the process with other specimens using your tool kit.

Please bring a bag or box to transport your spread specimen home. The spreading board is 12×8” and the specimen is several inches tall so make sure your box is appropriately sized.
