An ethical income that keeps the
rainforest standing.
Butterfly and insect farms give local communities a livelihood tied directly to healthy habitat. When forest land earns more alive than cleared, the incentive to log or burn it disappears.
We purchase specimens from partner projects - direct trade that funds conservation, not exploitation.

Farming butterflies to save the rainforest
Farms enable the preservation of Lepidoptera and Insecta within their natural habitat - the only real way to ethically obtain entomology specimens.

Our workshop
Care and craft in every single piece.
Each piece is made by hand in our Hertfordshire workshop - solid wood cut to size, glass fitted, and every specimen mounted with patience and precision. Nothing rushed, nothing outsourced.
We keep the full process in-house so the same skilled makers see every frame through from first cut to hang-ready finish. That is how we protect the quality and care in every piece we send out.
From the farms

Five farm regions,

Playing our part for the environment
Help us preserve
insects in their natural
habitat.
All of the insect specimens we work with are raised on farms which help to preserve the valuable rainforest habitat by providing villagers an ethical income.
In the wild, less than 7% of insect eggs will survive to adulthood. In contrast, captive breeding programs on insect farms achieve a rate of 70%-90%.
The farms also release up to 20% of all the generation back into the wild helping to preserve the insects in their natural habitat.
