Abstract
Although liquid preservation is the easiest way to keep the arthropods as they are; however, the specimens sink to the bottom and it becomes difficult to position them for studying the particular features. We here present an alternative permanent mounting procedure based on hair gel and absolute ethanol which provides a semi-solid preservation with an advantage of rightly positioned to study the three-dimensional geometric features for taxonomic identification. The method also provides least turbidity through efficient maceration. The method is efficient and least time consuming and can be adapted for 3-D taxonomic studies.
Keywords: Liquid preservation; Arthropods; Three-dimensional geometric shape; Hair gel.
