Conservation and Restoration of Insect Specimens

The conservation and restoration of insect specimens is the process of caring for and preserving insects as part of a collection, a practice that concerns hobbyist collectors and amateur entomologists alongside museum professionals. Conservation concerns begin at the moment of collection and continue through preparation, storage, examination, documentation, research, and treatment whenever restoration of a specimen is needed.
