Many of slides a made a few months ago or years ago have disintegrated under Canada balsam. For example, I had a stellar slide of Pirate Spider spiderlings, but their abdomens have since dissolved since my initial photography. I have another mountant I want to get to (CoverBond Mounting Media).
Anyhow, here is a detail of a Male Imperial Spider antenna. Notice the combs on each side of the side are not symmetrical. Reportedly, these guys can detect a Babe Imperial Moth from five miles away.
