I have recently pinned a cardinal beetle and a click beetle as well as glue mounted a few ladybirds and a very small leaf beetle of sorts and was wondering how long it would take for the beetles to dry and also how long for the glue to dry.

I also recently pinned a rather large prionotheca coronata and don’t know how long they take to dry, I’ve left mine about two weeks so far but I don’t know if they need more.

I am based in the UK and am looking to upgrade my old violin in a few months (my current one was found in a charity shop because I was unsure as to how much I’d actually enjoy it) and I am torn between the Yamaha V5SA violin and the Stringers Student violin outfit. Ive been playing for about three months and am doing grade 5 scales and grade 3 exam pieces as well as third position and I’m currently learning Thaïs, Swan Lake, Schindlers List and Fur Elise.
