Welcome
to insectframes.com!
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 butterflies
or beetles, 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.
