@StephSkipp @BEARBEEQUEUE @KatyPottsEnto sliding in here to add the absolutely horrifying paper by Andy Deans that explains why we should never ever use the common insect adhesives that everyone uses regularly: https://t.co/Qm2ttXQyNM
Have you ever noticed that entomological curators are constantly reorganizing specimens and complaining about the glue? Ellen sent me a link to new glue to buy her, & this paper, concluding that entomology curators are forever discontent and fastidious
@Myrmecos @BotryoidalSnO2 I think there are a variety of curatorial questions that could be investigated, e.g., what is the best archival adhesive for point-mounted insects? @FrostMuseum has a pre-print about the subject, but experimental research would be great

The conclusion of the talk is that more research needs to be done, but here is the preprint accompanying the talk: Deans AR. (2018) A review of adhesives for entomotaxy. PeerJ Preprints 6:e27184v1 https://t.co/vwabgCQkeI https://t.co/ARxBRBPrYf
