If you have ever tried to mount a sphinx moth you will quickly learn that the thick muscular structure of sphingid bodies can cause a challenge when you are trying to get the wings to go into the position that you desire. In this video we are going to show you how to undergo a surgery on your moth specimen that will help you out tremendously in your pursuit to prepare moth specimens that have tricky tendons and muscles that keep your specimen from looking like you want it to. With the use of an exacto knife, you can cut the tendons on the moths body that hold the wings tight. When this happens you will feel a freedom to move the wings into whatever position you desire.
