  That does look very similar. I'm only seeing pinned ones, making it hard to compare:

    Exactly. I wish the wings were held naturally in the pins at least. It's hard to tell if it's a match otherwise. Posted 6 years ago

      Totally, yet it seems a standard, must make it easier to study each wing I guess. Posted 6 years ago

        True. When I took taxonomy, we were taught to pin one side out, and leave the other side folded naturally. Not sure why this isn't the norm. Posted 6 years ago
