-Our Specimines

All insect and animal specimens I use in my displays are sourced legally and responsibly. Insects come to me from all over the globe. Deforestation, and illegal trade in species across the animal kingdom place us all in jeopardy. By regulating the farming and hand raising of species their wild populations can remain wild; and in many cases the land they inhabit becomes protected because of their existence there. Funds generated from insect farming in part goes to conservation to keep natural habitats alive and well. Remaining funds go to the families actually doing the work of hand raising specimens. This encourages economic growth to their regions through small/private business practices.

Some specimens used may be legally collected in the wild. Based on current data, this collection does not represent damaging effects to wild populations or their environmental landscape. Many of these specimens are some beetles, scorpions, arachnids, and true bugs. A large portion of which are seen as pests and are sought for removal from private property.

Bringing displays like mine into your home, collection, or office I believe; genuinely keeps the interest and importance ever present in our lives.

All insects, taxidermy, skulls, bones, and mineral specimens are treated with the upmost respect and care during the drying, curing, mounting, marketing process. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and encourage conversation and awareness, but please be respectful of our trade in order to be received well and also be respected in return.

Good reviews are always appreciated and further the growth of my business from home. If you love your item, please be sure and review it for me here and spread the word of what I do.

Thank you so much for visiting my website and looking around.
