Moths are placed in the same frame shown for sale on the products page.  Click on the picture of the frame for details.

I use the same mounting kit that is shown for sale on the products page to prepare a moth for framing.

Most of the time, I frame male cecropias.  There are times when I frame a female cecropia.  If a female cecropia has not mated in one of the first 2 nights after emerging from her cocoon, she cannot mate and lays infertile eggs.  If this has happened, I will sometimes perpare a female for framing.  Male cecropias will mate once each night for as many nights as they can (females mate only once).  Most often I frame males who have mated at least once.
