Provided that the specimen is sufficiently dehydrated using an alcohol series and then xylol, I see no reason why not. I do prefer Euparal, however. Euparal is quite common for mounting etymological specimens and there is no need to use the poisonous xylol. You can dehydrate the specimen in alcohol and then directly transfer to Euparal. Euparal also has a slight clearing tendency, making the exoskeleton of the animals brighter. Oliver. Why not?
