All insect specimens are dead and A1 (near perfect) condition unless otherwise stated. Some specimens may have slight cosmetic issues (such as greasing or moth scales) which are easily corrected thru a solvent wash.  Identifications are done by professional entomologists.  You always get the species listed. There may be slight variations between individual specimens in size, color, and markings.

Specimens are NOT pinned but are dried and packaged securely. It is recommended to rehydrate any specimen before removal from its packaging to reduce the chance of damage and allow for final mounting (pin, card, or point).
