Answer:
Collecting, killing, and panning
Explanation:
Museums have collections of preserved plant and animal specimens for study and references. Specimens are preserved in the containers or jars in preservative solutions. Insects are preserved in insect boxes after collecting, killing and pinning. Larger animals like birds and mammals are usually stuffed and preserved. Museums often have collections of skeletons of animals.
Most insects are pinned through the centre of the thorax and are set with wings extended. So that the wings can be positioned, the body of the insect is lowered into a groove in a polystyrene board. ... The pin is pushed into the setting board until the bases of the wings are level with the top of the board.
