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.

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 usPerfect frame as per usual! Worked well with my lil arrangement of the butterfly and moth specimens hehe
Came in right on time for my new specimens I got while in Colorado, it turned out to be the perfect size for all 16 specimens to be placed in.
Pratique Belle idée Cadeau
Got this for a friend of mine who had a lot of cicadas, came in very good quality!
Absolutely lovely frame for my specimens! I will def be getting these more often!
Loved this item, specifically appreciated the foam quality and the fact that the transparent part is protected by a removable sheet on both sides. Shipped very fast, no items were damaged during shipping, and the seller was respectful and helpful when informing me about the courier company.
It has also met my expectations, as there is plenty of space for the moths I am planning to pin and frame.
Très belles boîtes dommage que l'une d'entre elle était très abîmée et j'ai du faire un retour pour un coût de 17 € en Slovaquie pour échange , ce qui aurait pu être évité par le vendeur
Deep Shadow Frame
Perfect frame for my moth that I had. Thought the back would be fully closed up to avoid any instance of pests getting inside but it wasn’t so I duct taped it just in case. Other than that, it’s great!
