Shipping/Lost/stolen package

You (the customer) are responsible for any incorrect addresses, or locations where the post office is unable to deliver and I will not refund you in those situations. Postage is not refunded if it’s been used. Please make sure the address is correct before buying! Package theft is not covered by shipping insurance and we will not pay at our expense. It is your responsibility to secure a safe location for packages! If the tracking number shows as delivered, but you cannot find it, you’ll have to contact your local post office USPS. It’s your job to make sure your mail is being delivered in a safe area where mail can’t be stolen!

There are no cancellations, refunds, or exchanges given for products - all sales are final. I do cover damaged items as long as the damaged item is returned to me in its original packaging. Due to the custom nature of our products, partial refunds/exchanges are offered if you receive a damaged or defective item. The damaged package MUST be in its original packaging (and must reflect that in photos). If the item is taken out of its packing the item is not liable for an exchange due to the fragility of the insect, and will not be liable for a refund. Please note that you MUST reach out within 3 days of receiving your items if you have any concerns or issues!

Keep out of direct sunlight. Over time, the sun will fade the beautiful colors on your specimen. Display in (preferably) a temperature-controlled environment- room temp is best but not required. Keep out of humid/moist environments to prevent molding. Avoid touching wings as this will remove the color (tiny little scales). Some insects are sometimes stored in chemicals such as moth balls for preservation. They may have a smell when you first open them. This usually only affects larger-bodied insects, such as giant beetles and XL scorpions. After a few days, the smell will dissipate.

How are your insects ethically sourced?

I have a government permit to legally import insects from farms & sanctuaries all over the world. The permits ensure sustainable practices & help protect vulnerable wildlife populations. I don’t condone practices that decrease natural populations. Sustainable butterfly farming is supported by conservationists & scientists worldwide because it helps to preserve natural habitat from deforestation & commercial farming, helping their species continue. This also helps maintain populations of all other (thousands of)species of flora and fauna on that protected land where the butterflies are raised. Families in these areas are able to make a fair wage. It’s a beautiful system that aids in the survival and greater good of multiple species.

This insect has a protuberance at its head as long as 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in), looking like a peanut and showing false eyes to resemble that of a lizard or a serpent. These are pretty hard to get, so I recommend getting them now before they sell out. I only have a limited qty! These are super cool, their heads look like mini alligators! These are unmounted! Collected from Peru, March 2023. These here are Females!

Most, if not all of my insects are hand raised or from sustainable sources such as butterfly farms and aviaries. People in third-world countries are able to plant mass crops that are more sustainable and profitable than natural land. They are given the motivation to maintain insect populations and their habitats. Your purchase helps fight extinction and the destruction of habitats worldwide. We do not stock or encourage the collection of endangered/threatened species.

I am a LICENSED IMPORTER all specimens I carry are NOT endangered AND are absolutely legal to own. For more information please head to my shop FAQ's.
