Hi,

I know people have different views on this topic and I don't want to start an argument! However, I have a few greasy specimens of tabanidae, asilidae, syrphidae, etc. which I thought I would try to "improve" by immersion in either of -

ethyl acetate, acetone or toluene ...

Some people advise acetone and it would seem regularly used with dragonflies, yet others dislike its use quite strongly.

Any thoughts?
