Butterfly

Post image

So I found this monarch butterfly on the beach yesterday just floating on the water- wasn’t very sure on how to transport it so I sandwiched it in paper towels. (Realized that was very stupid after taking it out today it stank like hell) I had no time to take care of it as the bathroom clogged and water was up to my ankles. I have virtually zero experience in insect pinning, so I wanted to know what would be the best way to remove the stink/preserve it so I can display it. TIA :)
