COLLECTING INSECTS. 
Coleoptera should be pinned 
through 
the 
right wing-case near the base, and in such 
a way that the pin comes out below behind 
the middle pair of legs. As a rule the pin 
should be equally distant from the base and 
the side of the wing-case. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Orthoptera should be pinned in 
the middle, between the bases of 
the wings. Of course, if they are 
pinned without being set, the pin 
must pass through the wings ; in 
which case it is better through the 
right wing. In some instances the 
pronotum is produced backwards, 
so as to cover a great part of the 
body ; in which case the pin must 
necessarily pierce this part. In 
most cases it is desirable to have 
specimens pinned in both ways.
