11th photo: Stuffed with cotton. Use the tweezer to stuff the cotton into abdomen.
12th & 13th photo: wrap the paper around the abdomen, to ensure the abdomen is in natural shape, with cotton not be seen., use the pins to hold paper.
The paper that wrapped around abdomen, stay until moth is unmounted. When I unmounted the mounted moth, I removed the paper off abdomen, which dried & harden during mounting.
2nd (13th) photo: I cutted the paper to tip of abdomen (be careful not to cut the tip of abdomen), to save space in mounting board.
14th photo: Bottom of paper cutted, next to pins, to save spaces in mounting board. Mounted male aenetus virescens.
15th photo: Mounting, with paper holding around abdomen. Mounted female aenetus virescens.
