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.

Pre-cut little strips make the pinning process a lot easier. Always glad to have a bunch on hand.
Kam schnell an, Produkt wie Beschrieben :)
I hope they are great
These were great, easy to cut with scissors to smaller strips.
Great seller, willing to give advice. Highly recommend 👌
Au début j'ai cru qu'elles avaient été oublié, mais non tout va bien ! Merci c'est parfait !
These are exactly what I needed, thank you!
Die transparenten Streifen kommen in zwei Größen, bereit und schmal. Das Papier ist sehr glatt und durch die Transparenz kann man die Flügel gut erkennen. Die Ware wurde schnell versendet und bei der Bestellung war ein kleiner Schmetterling Sticker dabei ❣️
Just wish there was more for less. Great quality, and I swear I haven't had a single scale fall off since using.
There was an issue with shipping the first time, item was resent with no hesitation, great customer service, thank you!
It's pretty good, I guess.
