Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is an insect pinning board used for?

A: An insect pinning board is a specialized tool used in entomology to spread and set the wings, legs, and antennae of insect specimens in a natural, symmetrical position while they dry. It is essential for creating display-quality mounted specimens of butterflies, moths, beetles, and other insects.

Q: What makes this a double-sided EVA foam pinning board?

A: This board features EVA foam on both sides of two combined plates. The foam allows mounting pins to be inserted smoothly and hold firmly, while the central groove between the plates supports the insect's body as both wings are spread outward evenly — giving you professional, symmetrical results.

Q: Is this pinning board suitable for beginners?

A: Yes! The combined plate design with a center groove makes it straightforward to use for beginners and experienced collectors alike. Simply place the insect body in the groove, pin the wings flat onto the foam surface, and allow the specimen to dry in position. The soft EVA foam makes pin insertion easy without tearing the board.

Q: Can this board be reused multiple times?

A: Absolutely. The durable EVA foam and plastic construction is designed for repeated use across many mounting sessions, making it a cost-effective addition to any entomology kit or collection workspace.
