Hi,
My large emperor just died and I want to preserve her and pin her in a frame. I have been trying to dry her out, but now she is beginning to stink and there are flies all around and in the container and now I fear maggots will begin to take her apart. Is there anything I can do to possibly dry her out quickly? At the moment I have her in a container with some holes in it with silica packets to dry her out. I was thinking of maybe putting her into a closed container with some rice and see what that does. Maybe freezing her first might be a good move to possibly kill off any maggots inside her. Let me know what your thoughts, tips and ideas are?
