Popular Items
Bee-utiful bugs!
Our insects are each mounted and framed by hand with attention to detail to provide you with a unique and beautiful display.
Do I need to do anything to maintain my specimens?
The specimens are permanently preserved and will last a lifetime with proper care. They should be kept under glass and must be away from direct sunlight or excess humidity.
What liquid do you use for the wet specimens?
We use 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Are they real?
Yes, all of our butterflies, moths, beetles, and bugs are preserved using the same techniques museums use to prepare their specimens for display. Insects have exoskeletons that can be maintained indefinitely, just like our own skeletons.
Can I take it out of the frame?
Yes, there are two nails holding the “lid” to the frame in place. Take out the nails, lift off the lid, and handle the specimen very carefully by the top inside edge of the forewings closest to the body.
What are the sizes of the frames in inches?
R-mini: 9cm x 6cm = 3.25in x 2.5in
R-1: 11cm x 8cm = 4.25in x 3.25in
R-2: 14cm x 8cm = 5.5in x 4.5in
R-3: 16cm x 14cm = 6in x 5in
R-4: 21cm x 16xm = 8in x 6in
RXL: 30cm x 21cm = 12in x 8in
Where did you get the bugs?
They are raised in butterfly aviaries worldwide. To keep the operations running females are brought in from the wild to lay their eggs inside a large enclosed habitat. This way she and all of her babies are protected from disease, parasites, and predators. One female butterfly can lay thousands of eggs. In captivity virtually 100% will survive. Once the butterflies reach adulthood many are released back into the wild to help increase the indigenous populations.
