Bug Pinning & Display Class: Coleoptera - January 2026

This new class at Bones In Jars offers a fresh side of Bug Pinning for the slightly more experienced amateur entomologist. If you’ve taken our Bug Pinning & Display Class: Beginner or are generally familiar with the process of pinning but want to know more about pinning Bigger members of the Order Coleoptera (Beetles), this class is for you!

Come hang out at Bones In Jars, learn how to pin XL sized beetles, and display them in unique, creative ways! There will be various beetles to choose from as well as decorations to display them with.

This event is offered twice on separate days (Saturday, January 17th & Sunday, January 18th), both 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM in the Bones In Jars Storefront-Studio. Please make sure to select the desired date upon purchase!

Ticket Sales End the day before the first event (Friday, January 16th)

• Important To Note: Specimens may not fully dry by the end of the class. If you are interested in giving your piece more dry time contact us before the class so we can schedule a “Part Two” Session where you can display your specimen on another day for a $5 fee. 
• This class uses open-face displays which means your specimen will not have exterior protection. If this is a concern, you are welcome to bring in your own display to use! Just make sure it isn’t too big in case you have to share table space.
• $45 Per Person (Bones In Jars does absorb fees but the price will be slightly more after tax).
• Each participant will receive 1 XL Beetle for pinning, one small piece of foam for pinning on, one display, and various mosses, dried flowers, & accessories to choose from for decorating.
• Each participant will get to keep the display they create, but all supplies (pins not still in the bug, forceps, & glue) used for the project must remain at Bones In Jars.
• All ages are welcome, but an adult must accompany those 10 and under.
• No Refunds
