glue + specimen = make-shift fossil

Yo!

My friend and I decided to trap a moth, which was mortally wounded by my friend. Without anything to encase it with we thought of glue. Yes glue, our first idea was keep it in the freezer but it would have been mistaken as an ice cube so we settled with good ol' Elmer's. 

We found a clear corner of the table and submerged it in it. It took about 2 days for it to harden and "crystallize". So we tried another specimen it was a, I don't know he said it was a "dubia". So far it has been a bust for it has not crystallized or hardened. We are starting to doubt if it will even work. Still it is too early to give up so I will post something in the future that will update this.
