sup new yorkers. i just spent an afternoon making a rhinoceros beetle diorama under the tutelage of the lovely and fabulous daisy tainton, a former bug preparator at the museum of natural history. check out the observatory room for more information on taxidermy/insect mounting classes hosted by morbid anatomy. the cost of the class includes all requisite materials and animal carcasses; however, bring your own barf bag and nose plugs.
