As an avid collector of butterflies, and an overall insect enthusiast,
I often found myself frustrated with the inferior quality of
retail-purchased framed butterflies, or the lack of modern,
architecturally-styled insect displays. This dissatisfaction
had induced me to begin educating myself on creating my own
insect frames. After a few years of research and study, I had
eventually perfected the intricate techniques involved in setting
and mounting delicate butterflies and other insect specimens.
With greater confidence, I began to replace previously purchased
insect displays with my own.
Simple,
streamlined and classic, we have taken a modernist approach
to framing our insect subjects. With high quality white matting
and backing, admirers are able to truly enjoy the framed butterflies,
moths or beetles without any distractions.
So
whether you are looking for a framed butterfly as a gift, or
a grouping of multiple wall butterfly displays, we are confident
that you will find your perfect insect frames here on
our website.
Environmental
concern:
Most
of our framed butterflies were raised on butterfly farms or
aviaries around the world. Many governments in developing countries
are encouraging their people to raise insects for economic advancement
rather than other industries that deplete the rain forests,
which are essential to most butterfly species. Butterfly farming
is self-sustainable and most butterflies and other insects live
on an average of only 20 - 60 days. When the farm raised butterflies
have died naturally, they are carefully gathered and exported
around the world. This method only uses insects that are legally
imported into the country as regulated by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Department.
