We take great care in packaging our specimens.
Each pinned specimen is:
- Securely attached to a specially designed internal mounting platform shaped like a pinning board
- Placed inside a strong cardboard box
- Stabilized to prevent movement during transport
This system ensures that specimens remain firmly in place and are protected during worldwide shipping.

For orders outside the EU, customers do not pay any additional customs duties, import taxes, or delivery fees. We handle the shipping process to ensure a smooth international delivery experience.
If you have questions about a specific country, please contact us before ordering.
Yes, we ship worldwide, including the USA.
We use DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping for U.S. orders.
This means no additional import duties, customs fees, or taxes are charged to you. Your order will arrive without any extra payments on delivery.
There may occasionally be minor delays due to customs processing, but no additional fees are required from the customer.
We are fully transparent about sourcing.
All specimens are either:
- Sustainably farmed, or
- Wild collected under legal regulations
It is important to understand that claims suggesting all perfect specimens “lived their full natural life” are misleading. In nature, butterflies and moths that die naturally typically have worn or damaged wings. Specimens in perfect condition are usually sourced before natural deterioration occurs.
We do not make false claims. Instead, we focus on responsible and sustainable sourcing.
What does sustainable sourcing mean?
For us, sustainable sourcing includes:
- Butterfly farms in the country of origin, supporting local communities
- Specimens bred by us or trusted partners
- Legal and regulated wild collection
- Responsible and transparent practices
Customers can use product filters to choose between farmed and wild-collected specimens.
A papered (unmounted) butterfly or moth is:
- Stored in a protective paper envelope
- With wings folded closed
- Not yet pinned or spread
To display it, you need to pin and spread the specimen yourself using standard entomological techniques.
Papered specimens are ideal for collectors who prefer preparing their own displays.
If your package is lost, damaged, or arrives in unsatisfactory condition, we will:
- Send a replacement item, or
- Issue a full refund
You may choose the solution that works best for you. Customer satisfaction is our priority.

Contact usalways love this seller, the package was squished even with the fragile tape and yet the moths were packaged so well that not even an antennae was detached. The price was reasonable and with the 4 I got i was happy to get different sizes!
Papillon avec ailes cassées. Déçue
The moths were wrapped a little bit too tightly it seemed in the paper and their wing tails were bent, but luckily didn't break or anything and straightened out perfectly when pinned.
Beautiful as described I will be purchasing again
wings and antennae came damaged/broken because of the way it was packaged. could just be a one off thing as other reviews are fine.
The item arrived relatively fast, and was packed really well! Came with little to no breakage to the wing, just a few legs knocked loose (which is mostly my fault) can’t wait to work with it :)
Amazing quality, fluffy bodies and vibrant green coloured wings. Arrived extremely well packaged and before the expected date. Owner was super accommodating to getting my order sent out as soon as possible 10/10
Muy bonita la polilla :)
very good quality and the delivery was very fast
really pretty, its good quality
It came perfectly with no flaws and with both antennae intact, it only had a bit faded colour because of the freezer, except that everything exceptional!
Parfait je suis ravie 😁
Great communication and customer service!
Beautiful butterfly! Quick shipping! I’ll be buying again!
Beautiful specimen was super dry an hard to work with arrived fast .
It literally came torn in several parts of wings
Items never arrived but was refunded right away
The moths were beautiful, and the sellers customer service was 10000%. I would rate higher than 5 stars if I could. Had some technical difficulties due to the condition of the shipping (not the sellers fault) and they completely resolved the issue and were so kind. Highly recommend !!!!
Arrived on time and in good condition
Great seller, quality butterflies, quick delivery, thank you
