I could admire the beauty of these insects all day - there are so many intricate little details, I feel like every time I look at them I see something new! ✨

I find the unpinning process so stressful yet so rewarding - there's always some antennae that need repairing and maybe even a wing that needs reattaching, but I'm finding the damages are getting less and less frequent as my setting skills improve 🦋

Most of these are now available on my Etsy shop and website, you can find the link in my bio 🧡

All specimens have been sustainably sourced from conservation breeding farms around the world 🌎

Some very full setting boards - I only just had enough pins for everything! 😅 I've actually just unpinned all of these beauties this morning, just wanted to show some behind the scenes of the process first! These took me about 1-2 days to pin 🧡

Just listed this beautiful new glass dome on my Etsy! ✨
This piece features a Red Admiral butterfly (Vanessa Atalanta) surrounded by dried statice, sea lavender, ammobium, straw flower, and reindeer moss. I just love working with autumnal colours 🧡

The weather here in the UK has been pretty abysmal and as a result I have seen far fewer butterflies this year. I hope August brings some warmer weather and the butterflies can start to emerge! 🦋

Something a little different from me 🧡 I have been wanting to create something like this for a while, but just never found the time until now. I really enjoyed working on this piece and bringing out my love for all things natural and whimsical ✨

Small Emperor Moth (Saturnia Pavonia) in a 10cm glass dome, featuring dried statice, gypsophila, straw flower, ammobium, and reindeer moss. This piece is currently available, please message me if you are interested or would like any more photos 🧡

When I first started working with insects, the vibrant colours of the Madagascan Sunset Moth absolutely blew me away 🧡 It became an instant favourite for me, and I'm still amazed by the colours and the patterns every time I get to work with this species!

Often mistaken for a butterfly, this day-flying moth is considered one of the most impressive and appealing-looking lepidopterans. The colours originate from optical interference in the iridescent parts of the wings, while the black parts are pigmented. The bright aposematic colours warn predators of its toxicity, a strategy seen in many diurnal moths ✨

You can find this stunning moth in my Etsy shop along with many other unique and beautiful insects - all specimens are sustainably sourced 💚

Sorry I've been a bit quiet on here for the past couple weeks - I returned from holiday last weekend and things have been a bit hectic since! 😅

I have been very busy working on all you lovely people's orders, and have also been busy preparing for the Invert Show tomorrow in Wigan! 🪲

Here is one of the beautiful butterflies I will have with me tomorrow at the fair - a Tiger Butterfly (Papilio Zagreus) 🦋

Possibly my favourite butterfly of all time - the beautiful Sulkowsky's Morpho 💙 Latin name: Morpho sulkowskyi The colour of the Sulkowsky's Morpho is white with a holographic shine. The presence of fluorescent pigments in their wings and the nanostructure of their wings are responsible for their iridescence. This stunning butterfly will be available in the New Year, along with a bunch of other new specimens! 🦋 Thank you to everyone who's ordered from my shop for Christmas, I'm pleased to say all Christmas orders have been sent in time for the big day! 🎁 #butterfly #butterflyart #sulkowskysmorpho #morphosulkowskyi #morphobutterfly #taxidermybutterfly #smallbusiness #insects #entomology #framedbutterflies #taxidermybutterflies #butterflies #butterflydisplay #insectart #taxidermyart #insectpinning #butterflyspecimen #butterflylover #insecttaxidermy #odditiesandcuriosities #insectsofinstagram #cottagecore #butterflybox #butterflyboxuk
