Welcome

Dear Insect Collectors,

We offer specimens for the amateur and serious collector alike.

We specialise in and can offer rare and common butterflies for the Neotropical (Central/South America, Caribbean Islands), Holarctic (North America, Europe, Asia) and can frequently offer specimens from these other regions: Afrotropical (Africa, Reunion, Mauritius, Comoro Islands in the Indian Ocean), Oriental (India, Thailand to Indonesia) and the Australian (Australia, New Guinea to Fiji) regions.

Also many moths (including Sphingides and Saturnides) and beetles (mostly unidentified).

Please contact us or visit our site often for our latest lists. Alternatively, let us know your areas of interest or specific specimens you are wishing to add to your collection.
