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.
No :)
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.

La polilla en buen estado, las alas perfectas y me ha llegado incluso bien hidratada, estaba ya lista casi para prepararla, muchísimas gracias a todo el equipo
También gracias, por la atención al cliente, perfecta!🦋
Chris was an absolute legend and wonderful to work with to get me exactly what I wanted!!! Cheers to everyone at Entomo Boxes!
The specimen is beautiful but it is not as bright blue as pictured which I was disappointed about, because that is really what I wanted this moth for was its bright blue coloring. I also did receive the moth with the abdomen broken off which is fine I was able to reattach! Overall I’m happy with my purchase though!
The seller did reach out to me and was amazing about communicating! They offered to refund some of my purchase which is so sweet, but like I said I am happy with my specimen and didn’t feel that was necessary! I would definitely recommend this seller and any of their specimens🦋💗
The wing came a little broken, but I understand that it was a long trip, so no problem. The package arrived in a week and my boyfriend loved it. Thank you!
Beautiful. Well packed. Fast shipping. Repeat customer 💜

Truly a lovely specimen. She was exactly as pictured.
Such a beauty, received it on time, well packed so no damages during transport. Nice specimen, ever received a gift which surprised me. Chris is a kind seller, always willing to be there if you need any advise or help.
Beautiful specimen! Does ship from outside of USA, so did take a little time to arrive. Well worth the wait!
Très beau spécimen comme d'habitude, un chouille plus petit que ce que je pensais mais c'est les aléas de l'unicité de chaque spécimen. Arrivé en parfaite état et bien emballé.
Wunderschöne Mothe. Mein Grosses Kind sammelt sie. Er wird sich freuen.
I can’t wait to pin these to see what they look like.
Excellent quality and customer service.
