~ About shipping ~

Spread specimens are generally secured in a simple specimen box made of processed Styrofoam and a plastic container for shipping. Upon arrival, it is recommended to transfer the specimen from the simple box to a wooden specimen box. We will pack carefully to prevent damage, but occasionally parts may become detached due to vibrations during transport. In such cases, we cannot offer compensation. Please only purchase if you are able to perform some repairs yourself or are willing to accept the risk.

Note: Insects vary from large to very small species. Especially with small insects, even after inspection, there is a slight risk of overlooked damage or damage during transport. Due to the nature of specimens, there may be invisible aspects of their condition, such as internal decay or how they were treated at the collection site. Please allow for slight errors in size. We will only list detailed species names when available. We are not familiar with all insects, so misidentification may occasionally occur.

We ask for your understanding of the above points when making a purchase.
