Ethics?

you may notice I don’t use the term ethical - it has a different meaning to each person & there’s no regulations over what it actually represents. lots of specimen providers use buzzwords to distract from the truth - insects are killed for art. 

Usually insect specimens are sourced via farms - yes, a few farms have benefits, but most are not run with the care of insects in mind. 

each of the insects I preserved are carefully sourced from longterm insect hobbyists that raise them personally - giving them the best care possible. 

I continue to give them the best care throughout death - I hope to pair them with a home that loves them as much as the person that raised them did!
