The #00 insect collection pins have a diameter of 0.30mm. This narrow gauge & ideal for pinning relatively fragile small insects such as mosquitoes without damaging or distorting them. Regular pinning forceps will allow you to mount a mosquito or similar sized insect without any issues. However, this pin is very flexible & locking forceps (hemostat) may work better when trying to push into a harder material.
