Yep; I was really gutted to see the state of that big collection. So sad to see damage on such a vast scale. The collector probably spent hundreds of field hours making the collection only to destroy it through bad trechnique.
Incidentally, some museums seem to have concluded that there is no safe way of sending flies in the mail and now insist on specimens being carried by hand.
We can only do the best we can
