Specimens use by our artists are procured from insect and arachnid farms throughout the world, where they are captive bred. Farming of butterflies ensures survival of natural populations (by reducing poaching pressure) and provides income to third world people who grow them, predominantly.

All the arrangements e.g domed and framed specimens, feature real butterflies, beetles and selected arachnids from all over the world. The quality of our specimens used is "A1" and lesser is not accepted.

Domed specimens are individually and beautifully set within Australian, dried-flowers and Banksia nuts; mounted on stained, wooden bases and covered by clear acrylic domes. Alternatively, the same specimens are available in colored, wooden frames for similar prices.

Each specimen is preserved and dried, similar to how museums do it, using Naphthalene and will last indefinitely. Although they are best kept out of direct sunlight.

Many more species are available on request. If there is particular species which you prefer which are not on display please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to get them in, after your agreement to a quoted price.
