I’m REALLY, honest-to-goodness thinking about making my own wing spreader for butterfly mounting.

I also bet it’d be super handy to put ruler-marks on the board to ensure the wings are even, though you’d have to be careful about the material used... You don’t want to etch into the wood of the spreading board and you don’t want anything that can wear off onto the butterfly and damage the scales.

I've also seen a couple comments where people want to see how many participants there are in particular themes before they decide on which to do.And being as lame (and bored) as I am, I've written the numbers down to post here for anyone interested:Audiophile: 401Books: 1,972Colors: 1,309Hats & Scarves: 707300th Exchange: 1,185Anime & Manga: 576Space: 446Middle Ages: 266Fidget Toys: 729Tennis: 48Star Wars: 903Bookmarks: 1,239Umbrellas: 260Total: 10,041

In Orwell's 1945 essay, "Notes on Nationalism," he argues that national pride causes us to ignore the truth. It was Orwell's way of pointing out that most people judge good or evil by who performs the act, not what the act is. From The 401 Book (401Book.com). Available at www.genpopmedia.com.
