| Some preserve them in alcohol/ethanol.
I myself buried my first ever emperor, and since threw any others away at the top of the garden or in the recycling bin. | |

| I don't know for sure myself as I've never done it. But I think it has to be 70% ethanol or something..
Try having a quick search in google and see what comes up. | |

| i still have lots of them. hairspray them all over and that will preserve them. you might want to remove some innards from larger ones but i never had a problem when i dont gut them even with some of my spinifers. bit gross but they are on my desk with a load of ammo shells and a dried up green anole... im not weird at all, honest! | |

| im sorry but have no idea as was about ten years ago and my dad has died since so cant ask lol however i would probably guess that it was some kind of clear wood varnishas he used to do a lot of wood work and probably thought "...... i wonder if that would work " lol ill have to ask my brother to find it and put a pic up its kinda in a box frame i think | |

| hair spray does the same as the varnish except a thinner layer and it gets pretty much everywhere. i have preserved scorpions that have been dead for months before, its only the exoskeleton your preserving, though that will SERIOUSLY stink by now. | |

| I can't see how soaking in hairspray works does is kinda pickle it or something, I think a quick coat of varnish all over would have been easier and quicker lol worked for my Dads | |
