SOURCING OF SPECIMENS
We source our specimens from a number of insect suppliers globally.
Many specimens are captive bred and others are wild caught. No protected species are dealt with.
Insect breeding / collecting is sustainable and is a good source of income for people who often live in very remote places.
Most species are only available for short periods each year and in limited quantities, and may not be available every year.
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Please allow 3-5 days processing time as each piece is made to order.
As we are a small workshop, we do not accept returns or exchanges, unless required by law.
