ALL YOU NEED TO DO.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE: SINCE ALL OF OUR
FRAMED SPECIMENS ARE WELL TREATED BEFORE SHIPPING IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO
ADD ADDITIONAL FUMIGANT HOWEVER, OUR FRAMES ARE NOT SEALED SHUT SO
IF YOU WISH TO YOU CAN ADD A FUMIGANT YOU CAN ADD A FUMIGANT OF YOUR
CHOICE IN ORDER TO FURTHER PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT FOR DECADES TO COME...
FUMIGANT DOES NOT LAST A LIFETIME AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS THE
MANUFACTURER SUGGESTS. ANY FRAME THAT HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY SEALED SHUT IS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO MOLD GROWTH AND THERE IS NO WAY TO REPLENISH THE FUMIGANT.
ADDITIONAL FUMIGANT OR PESTICIDES ARE A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE...
OUR FRAMED INSECTS ARE MADE TO LAST BEYOND A LIFETIME!!!

About Us
Butterflies and insects are all that we do this is not a part time venture or a
weekend hobby this has been our full time professional commitment since 1992.
We are a family owned and operated
company and we have over 30 years experience in the insect field.
We have our own unique style of mounting our insects in a free flight or
natural pose rather than a squished scientific book presentation. We have
perfected this unique style of mounting over decades of practice and while
this style of mounted is more complicated and much more effort is required
to maintain the life like curves and positions of a live insect we feel
that it is worth the extra effort. We
feel that the natural lifelike look of our designs make a much more
attractive and realistic collectible and we are sure that you will
agree.
