I think it really depends on a few things: the micro-pin shouldn't be too thin (I use 0.38-0.45mm diameter for most medium-large specimens) and the pin should be inserted at a slight angle - so that you don't destroy the same feature on both sides of the fly.


Thanks for the description. But where did you find such large micropins? The largest I have seen for sale is 0.20 mm.
