FAQs

Are the insects real? Yes! Everything, from the bugs and bones, to the moss and flowers I use in my pieces are real

Where do you source your insects from? I am a licensed importer through USFWS, and legally obtain all of my specimens. All of my insects are sourced from breeders or insect farms. Insect farming is very beneficial to the environment because some Specimens are released back into the wild, supporting local populations.

Do you have bats? I WILL NOT sell or source you a bat. Overseas bats, some snakes, and frogs are considered pests and are mass murdered to sell to the oddities industry. It is done so often that certain species are on their way to the endangered list. If someone tells you their bats are "ethically sourced", but they have a ton of stock of each type, they are not ethically sourced. Bat farms do not exist and bats only have one baby per year. Please DO NOT support the bat trade! It is possible to find one from a seller who has a relationship with a sanctuary, but those sellers will tell you exactly where it came from and will not have a lot of them. The ones mass sold are also freeze dried, not properly taxidermied.
