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.

Ware war gut verpackt, der Versand war schnell
Spedizione molto accurata, grazie
These have made pinning insects so much easier for me. They’re especially handy when dealing with small, delicate butterflies and moths. Thanks so much!
I accidentally ordered twice when the website was glitching, had quick response from them and immediately refunded the second order. I used this tool for the first time last night and it has made life so much easier!
Happy I got these! They make it a lot easier to pin butterflies and moths, very useful!
So happy with the items, used them straight away, will be buying from them again.

Tolles Produkt, Paket kam schnell an :)
Thank you very much! Word
Perfect for what I needed, lovely and delicate for helping spread wings.
Très utile, pas bête celui qui a inventé ça !
Very basic product, maybe a little expensive for what it is, but works well.
No issues with product , thanks
Tout est parfait! Merci à vous
Really great product. Seller was very responsive
Too sharp. The items are themselves great quality and safely shipped, but I wouldn't call then a safe utensil for butterflies or moths. Although they were able to pull the vein, I found more wings ripped than not.
Great customer service great product
Très bien, bonne qualité et envoie rapide
Good tools, thin and light but handles being dropped without bending
Thanks a lot for the great service!
A very requisite tool for filigree work, such as spreading the legs and antennae of insects or spider's chelicerae. Also came in handy quickly. I'm very satisfied, thank you!
