I’m so excited to share this incredibly unique piece I put together. A deaths head hawk moth over a tarot card, featured in a coffin shaped display box with faux moss and real dried flowers. It’s a little over 12 inches long but surprisingly lightweight and has a hanging fixture on the back. Come check it out in person this Saturday at Black Heart Books !

A few more pieces for the table this weekend 💜

New items rolling out for this weekend at The Venue ! More bug inlaid jewelry, we have bracelets and two kinds of necklace. Beetle pendants and bracelets are fixed on an adjustable cord. The necklaces can be adjusted between 7.5in and 14in. The bracelets are woven to a length of 6.5in but can adjust to 10in for removal. The chains for the butterfly wing pendants are 9in stainless steel. Been hard at work fine tuning the process for each product, I hope yall like them !

A fun edit I made of me pinning 3 gorgeous butterflies from the genus Papilio

Here is a Timelapse of me pinning a praying mantis brought to me by a friend who raises them as a hobby. She was even more stunning up close !

Rehydration process
Rehydration process

Here’s a little inside look into my process. After sitting in the rehydration chamber for 12-24 hours so that they’re softer for handling, I then inject the specimen with water and allow them to sit another day so that the water seeps into the wing veins. This allows them to become malleable again for posing. Here you see me inject a sunset moth, monarch butterfly, atlas moth, and oak tasar moth

Promethea moth

Another moth friend has emerged under my care ! 🥹 this is a male Promethea moth, they look drastically different from their female counterparts, with their black wings and beige edges. What a beauty !

Atticus atlas 😍
Atticus atlas 😍

Check this out you guys ! This is an Atticus atlas moth, the largest moth in the WORLD !! I’m holding a male, which is actually smaller than the females 🤯 I bought a couple cocoons just for the experience of holding one of these gentle giants, and it did not disappoint

Pinning process featuring a cecropia moth. I am using glass slides to weigh down the wings and a pinning needle to manipulate the placement

Hyalophora cecropia, the Cecropia moth

Look at this magnificent cecropia moth that emerged from his cocoon today ! Wow, is he a showstopper ! It is such an honor to handle one of these living giants. I have a few more cocoons that haven’t emerged yet, maybe we’ll get lucky with a pretty lady moth ? 🥰 Also please excuse my messy table, this little lad escaped the net cage and I found him in my kitchen. Had to grab this video while he was being still but I had no time to prep an area 😅
