The Pinned Insect

Love this movie, but I always was puzzled with the fact that the bug was put under a pin, presumably by that insect scientist. It seems strange why he would do that, especially considering he loved insects.
Could anyone explain exactly what was the pinning of the bug supposed to signify in the film?

Pinning insects is the tradional way of storing insect collections. He has the walls full of butterflies already?
He's killing something he loves to keep it forever.
