We found a very, very, very small wasp on our sidewalk today. So small he was a must keep!! When I held him by the leg, I tried to push in another leg, which when a fresh specimen just dies it stays flexible. His leg was very firm. That's an indication that when we try to pin him his legs or head may POP off, dice he's starting to harden. That's when we know we need to relax the insect in preparation for pinning.

Here I'm using a glass jar with a tight fitting lid, and another smaller container, prescription bottle sized, to hold a 50/50 mix of pine sol and water.
