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.

Beautiful high quality box! Thank you so much!
Absolutely love this entomology box! It fits my collection and still has some room for some more! It's air tight which is exactly what I was looking for!! Well worth the wait (which wasn't long but coming from another country wait)
Lovely quality box. Nice and deep, good backing foam. Fast delivery.
The delivery was perfect, it was way faster than expected . Buying in this little sweet Store gave me the opportunity to make big steps with my hobby 🪲 especially product quality Like This is nowhere else to be found!
Big thx to Chris and his Team 🦋
Great communication, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The back of the box is not wood, but backing board, or something like it. It doesn’t mention this, and the back is not shown in the pictures so I wanted to share this information. I wish it was a completely wooden case, but I love it just the same. I would definitely recommend buying from this seller and buying this for your bugs!
Very happy with these. Definitely will be buying more
The international shipping understandably took a bit with customs in mind. I was worried these could arrive damaged, but was happy to find they were packaged very securely and came in perfect shape! I am so happy with my purchase. 10/10 recommend.
These display boxes are absolutely pristine and well sealed! Beautiful quality.
it arrived in perfect condition, I bust open the old frame which was glued and removed pinned butterflies(3), and put it in frame. I only wish the frame had something on back so I could put it back on the wall framed.
Très belle boîte arrivée en avance sur la date initiale avec un mot et quelques surprises très appréciés dans le colis. La qualité est au rendez vous.
J'adore les insectes et j’ai décidé, pour offrir la boite en cadeau, de la garnir avec des dessins des papillons pour ne pas tuer ses pauvres petites bêtes
I’m absolutely thrilled with my order from Etsy! 🤩
The two wooden Entomology boxes are simply beautiful and exceptionally well-crafted—you can immediately tell the high quality and attention to detail.
The packaging was super careful and secure, so everything arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was really fast, too! I was especially pleased by the nice note included—a truly personal and welcoming touch.
A huge thank you to Chris for this great service! 🙏
I highly recommend Entomo Boxes and will definitely be ordering again.
