Neil -- Probably without knowing (although you know this) you just gave one
of the ways one can tell a scientific collector/collection from a non.
Specimen condition.    Those with the _eye_ to science  are more concerned
with other things than "reared perfect" specimens all laid out like
starched shirts.  Function over form.  We all like the form though - cake
and eat it too :-)
