I caught a stag beetle a week ago and placed it in denatured alcohol with the goal of both preserving and pinning and drying later. However, despite using both steam and trying a relaxing chamber, I have been unable to get the limbs to loosen. I had it in a water sponge/ moth ball chamber for 24 hours and not a bit softer; today, I've been trying near boiling water with glass inverted, beetle on top, and covered. After a couple of hours, still stiff. Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you!
