Death’s Head Hawkmoth Pinning Workshop - Oct 25 2026

Pretty Dead Taxidermy is coming to Calgary for a special weekend of hands-on taxidermy and specimen preservation workshops at Rite of Ritual! Join us for a hands-on, beginner-friendly introduction to insect preservation as you learn to pin and spread your own real Death’s-head Hawkmoth. 🦋 Known for the striking skull-like marking on their thorax, these incredible moths are one of nature's most iconic and mysterious specimens. No previous experience with entomology or specimen preparation is required! Pretty Dead will guide you through the process of preparing, positioning and spreading your moth to create your own finished pinned specimen. And yes, your moth comes home with you! 😊 Workshop Details Sunday, October 25, 2026 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM Rite of Ritual 211 17th Ave SE, Calgary Please find the other available class dates here!
