~ About shipping ~

Spread specimens are generally shipped fixed in a simple specimen box made of processed styrofoam and a plastic container. We recommend transferring them from the simple box to a wooden specimen box upon arrival. We will pack carefully to prevent damage, but occasionally parts may come loose due to vibrations during transport. In such cases, we cannot offer compensation. Please purchase only if you are able to make repairs yourself to some extent, or if you understand the risks involved.

Note: Insects vary in size from very large to very small. Especially for 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 variations in quality, 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 they are known. We are not familiar with all insects, so identification errors may rarely occur.

Please understand the above points before making a purchase.
