I personally like to ensure everything I stock is sourced ethically. All insects, butterflies and moths come from conservation farms that work to keep populations going. All specimens are collected once they have passed away. Mammals and birds are predominantly roadkill or animals that have been found already dead. I no longer stock bats due to the mass culling in China.

Postage costs are added to the cost of the item, there is nothing more annoying than getting to checkout and seeing a postage fee! (The only exception to this is auctions, postage is Β£3-Β£5 depending on weight)

Currently I mainly specialise in insect framework, however I also stock wet specimens, taxidermy mammals and birds. I also offer custom work, pet memorials, curio pieces, repairs and sourcing services.

Absolutely! We can discuss how you would like the animal/insect preserving, post them to me and I’ll work my magic.

I don’t, I do all the creating, posting, messaging and behind the scenes work on my own! I’m very proud of my business and am very picky on how I run it and do everything. I do have an office cat called Jasmin though, she’s our little Luna Curios mascot.

Please keep frames out of direct sunlight as this will bleach the colours from your insects quite quickly. Wet specimens also need to be kept out of direct sunlight, and occasionally topped up with isopropyl alcohol. Animal mounts are usually okay as they are but can be susceptible to moth damage and dust.
