Materials required for mounting sand flies: A: round glass coverslips (10 or 12 mm diameter); B: 24-well plate and hooked needle (if using clove oil or Euparal essence to process the sand flies, do not use acrylic plates because a chemical reaction will take place and the specimens will be damaged); C: glass slides suitable for labeling; D: detail of the needle hook; E: needles attached to syringes; F: watch glass or equivalent container holding the sand flies to be mounted; G: Dumont forceps; H: plastic pipette; I: glass pipette bent by heating to facilitate transferring liquid into the wells.
