These used to one of the mainstays in museums, large boards with insects pinned to to them. We would see the dead butterfly in all of its colourful glory.
Despite the fact that this form of insect collection seems to have gone out of favour, there are probably enough baby boomers around that recognize the principle. Of course the key question is are there enough younger consumers around who will get the joke? Or will they see this as an invitation to animal cruelty?
