The Bug Balmer keeps the insects vibrant and true to color. I’ve used it for over a year with no fading. Works well with my glass vials and makes organizing my collection much easier.

Great product for preserving water bugs. Colors stay sharp and the bottle is easy to use. Only downside is that glass vials are not included, which I had to purchase separately.

I’ve tried several color fixatives, and this one stands out. The insects look natural and detailed. It’s reliable and simple to apply. Highly recommend for insect collectors.
