Embedding butterflies in resin usually leads to "silver" insects. Air trapped
between the scales can not escape unless you embed the specimen under high
vacuum. The same happens with hairy insects. Beetles are most suitable for
embedding, especially chafers (Scarabaeidae), as are cockroaches. The latter
however are not wanted by many people.
