Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a double-sided EVA foam insect pinning board used for?
A: An insect pinning board is used by entomologists and collectors to mount, position, and spread insect specimens — especially butterflies and moths — so their wings and bodies dry flat and symmetrical for long-term display or study. The EVA foam holds standard entomology pins firmly in place without tearing delicate structures.
Q: What types of insects can I pin on this board?
A: This pinning board is suitable for a wide variety of insects, including butterflies, moths, beetles, dragonflies, and more. The combined plate design accommodates both small and larger specimens, making it a versatile choice for any collection.
Q: How does the double-sided design work?

Q: Are standard entomology pins compatible with this board?
A: Yes. The EVA foam is designed to accept standard entomology mounting pins, holding them securely without splitting or crumbling, ensuring your specimens remain stable and undamaged throughout the setting and drying process.
