Our goal is to honor nature through art, community and education. We focus whole heartedly on sustainability, and adhere to strict ethical guidelines.
Our bone specimens are collected post mortem. Some resources we utilize are foraged bones from nature hikes/ local collectors, road kill specimens, animal control as a part of wildlife management, pet donations, salvaged waste byproducts from other industries, local reptile shops, natural death and byproducts from breeders and small family farms. We do not carry endangered species or any species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act . We process a large number of the bones you find in shop in house via our dermestid beetle colony. This allows us to utilize full animals while maintaining the integrity of skeletal structures. See photos of our hardworking beetle crew below.
Most of our insect specimens are captive bred in butterfly aviaries from around the world. Captive bred specimens live out their full metamorphosis cycle in these aviaries. They are collected to be sold to universities, museums or businesses like ours. A handful of these specimens are released back into their indigenous land to help sustain population growth. These aviaries help sustain natural forests and jungles, and provide income for local communities. A select few specimens we utilize are wild caught specimens that are deemed pests, invasive or severely over populated resulting in resource scarcity. We do not sell any endangered or CITES protected species. All specimens are legally acquired and inspected by USFWS. We are licensed importers that follow strict guidelines.
It is our goal to run a sustainable business that maintains transparency. If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us via our contact form on the website
