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 usIn super goede staat gearriveerd, en top kwaliteit. Heel enthousiast om ermee aan de slag te gaan!
Awesome pin board. It’s my favorite. Thank you.
Ik vind de kwaliteit erg goed omdat het precies is hoe je de vleugels moet hebben namelijk moeten ze vanaf het lijf een beetje omhoog lopen en daarom ben ik zeer tevreden met mijn aankoop
The board is made from quality materials, the pins stay put and don’t move around but are still easy to take out. Definitely met my expectations.
Very well made item, would recommend.
Excellent seller. Fast shipping. Highly recommended.

My partner is very happy with his new boards and equipment as he starts his new hobby. Many thanks

Large Pinning Board
exactly as described, very happy with it
I mistakenly bought it thinking it was a specimen due to my lack of knowledge, but it is a good item for spreading the wings of large butterflies and will be useful. Thank you very much.
I am looking forward to pin a Luna moth soon on this
Can't wait to pin my first butterflies. Generous space to pin even the biggest species on. Recommend 👌
Looking forward to using the pin board, looks sturdy!
Good quality for a good price
Really pretty butterfly in perfect condition
