5 out of 5 starsWonderful specimens and great customer service. Shipping to the US is very slow right now, but that’s to be expected. Alain ships items quickly, but customs is slow. I will continue to buy over and over again!

5 out of 5 starsA beautiful variety of insects. One cicada arrived crushed so I asked for a new one and he quickly mailed it out to me. I was surprised I got two new cicadas! Very happy with this purchase and customer service. Thank you so much!

2 out of 5 starsOne of the 5 moths I received was moldy and rotten. All the wings fell off as soon as I unwrapped the specimen. Another specimen has a damaged wing which I managed to repair. Otherwise, the remaining 3 moths looked great.
About Alanscollectibles
Wonders of nature ... let s protect our natural treasures ..
Already as a kid I explored the nature surrounding our holidayhouse. Seeing a deer in the morning, going fishing at 5am with the fog still over the water.. my first observation of a kingfisher... still a few of my best memories..
During my travels for birdwatching, i became very interested in insects too ... Once you will see your first morpho butterfly in flight , you will understand me..
I was in London in Covent garden more then 25 years ago and there was a vendor selling insectframes .. i couldn't believe what I saw and I immediately told my wife .. this is what I wanna do... and so it started..

Shop policies
We work according our inspiration and creativity. Feel free to ask us your specific requests on colors, sizes , shapes for custom made frames.
We use NO protected species !! Many of these insects are bred specimen, for the specific use of artworks. All other insects are wildcollected but this will in NO WAY endanger or harm the population. Deforestation and destroying of habitat is the main cause and this need to be prevented in any possible way.
With these frames we want to show the beauty of nature and to convince everybody we should protect our natural treasures.
Warm regards
Alain
