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.

Great quality board, great size and very easy to use!
Hi worms and grubs, I see a lot of meh reviews and wanted to give a good one!
Package: the item was wrapped in bubble wrap with a good amount of hard foam with is such amazing for pinning beetles! It was truly snug as a bug in a rug with cute stickers and a 20% off discount.
Item: im very impressed with the quality since its made from 3d printed plastic as it holds up very well, the mechanism is very silent and no janky feeling to it at all SMOOTH AS BUTTER! The locking mechanism is on both sides and isn't too bad to push with a good clicking feel. Sometimes its a bit scary to push too hard but seeing as the plastic is incredibly hefty im not too worried on damage.
Service: tracking was a bit hard at times due to the website but the owner was very quick to help out as best as they could, not their fault at all. 10/10 ✨️🌿
The problem with having niche hobbies is the lack of innovation and accessibility, but this board is exactly the type of board I’ve wanted for years! The sides are adjustable for any type of mount you want, the board is made of soft balsa wood so it’s sturdy yet won’t hurt your fingers, and the line keep all your appendages plum! If you’re just getting into the hobby or you’re a legit entomologist it’s a great board, not to mention the customer service is top notch! My broke from my own clumsiness and the seller immediately helped fix it, even sending me a replacement part for free!
Exactly as shown on the pictures. I can’t wait to try it out :)
I’m so excited to use this new board! Also equally excited about my cool new refrigerator magnet lol. The board is high quality and pretty sturdy. The lines will be super helpful. It’s such a neat little gadget and I’m very happy I bought one. Thank you!
Great tool for spreading butterflies, moths and some other insects but great with wing setting looks so much better!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Richtig tolles Hilfsmittel für die Präparation! 🦋 Die verstellbaren Winkel machen das Ausrichten der Flügel deutlich einfacher. Sehr praktisch und eine klare Empfehlung!
First off this is so much fun having the option to adjust the angle and I would definitely buy again. I do wish they locked in place a little more securely and the bottom is only styrofoam, im so afraid to handle it and have it break. I wish there was a thin barrier of something under it. Overall I would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting more positional options.
Schön lang herrlich. Danke schön. Gerd
It's not often people in this hobby can use the word "innovation". After all, pinning insects is relatively straightforward, and there's only so much that could possibly be improved to make our lives easier or more efficient. That being said, these adjustable-angle pinning boards rock! The locks work as expected to hold the desired angle in place, and the ability to decide which angle suits my needs for a given project is simply awesome. Already bragged about these and showed them to my friends in the insect world for them to fawn over.
Also, shipping these internationally couldn't have been easier. They arrived in the US without any issue or damage and were packed wonderfully. Would definitely recommend.
Gutes Spannbrett! Schnell geliefert und verpackt!
Alles okay als op de foto’s, goed verpakt en op tijd👍
Excellent work, would absolutely recommend
Love it! Thanks! Definitely good to have!
Seller is 5 star rated. Can buy with confidence any item in ths shop he should be able to support.
Absolutely perfect. I love the innovation here; it was exactly what I had been wishing for - even better, it has lines on the pinning surface to help with pinning symmetrically. The adjustability is easy and secure, and the whole thing is well-made and not unnecessarily clunky. Perfect all the way around.
Le travail de réalisation de cette planche est super, de très grande qualité 🪲✨
It came in lavender and I didn’t get to pick my color but I got the exact color I wanted. I love it!
not the colours pictured in the item listing but that isn't a big deal, works great and is making pinning so much easier already!
