UV Blocking Glass
We use museum grade UV blocking glass that blocks 99% of harmful UV rays from the delicate specimens in order to preserve colors and details.
Made in California
Every piece is designed and handcrafted in Sonoma County by an entomologist with a Masters degree in Conservation Biology, using museum grade materials.
Sustainable Specimens
All of our insects are hand raised or from sustainable sources such as butterfly farms. Sustainability and the environment are extremely important to us.
