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.

Contact usPretty neat! I've ordered 25 pieces and got 5 extra, thank you for that! (Yes, I've counted them out of boredom xd) Two I've already used, they're perfect.🌸🌸
The quality and variety continue to impress me. I am a repeat customer and intend to continue shopping here
I ordered the pins because I just started getting into pinning, and they are perfect. They are just a little Ben dance so they don’t snap, they are thin, sharp, and the bead at the top makes them easier to push in. I got a beautiful thank you card, a sticker, and a small plastic butterfly for free, which I have displayed. This i themed arrived more than 2 weeks early, and the shop replied very quickly. The image is of the pins in use (gold) , and it shows how they look next to normal sewing pins (yellow) ❤️
They're super handy and well priced. Thin and high quality
Rien à dire sur l’article
These arrived in under a week and are exactly what I needed. They came with some lovely extras, and I've been recommending the shop to everyone I can. Very pleased.
Wonderful tiny little pins, as described. They came in a cute little envelope, not the tube that was in one of the photos, but I keep my pins in a magnetic dish anyway, so it didn't matter to me.
