It might be better if you bring them out of alcohol gradually, such as a day in 50%, a day in 30 %, then dry them. But that is a lot more work so probably not worth it for routine specimens.

Do you mean a day in 96%, another day in absolute EthOH? If dehydrated in a liquid, the fly would not collapse, and U can even take pix of it.

Development through ethylacetate ether after 96% alcohol is another good option unless U need your specimens for PCR.
