L'Arca di Noè - coleopters

coleopters

Althought this catalog is called Insects for convenience, actually it would be more correct to speak of Arthropods, because in this category we have inserted also other animals as spiders and scorpions, that aren't insects.

Lastly we would like to also point out that we do not sell more than several years insects and other invertebrates living for breeding, so all samples we treat are dead and dried. Therefore, except Vertebrata, that we sell already stuffed, Insects and other Arthropoda we supply them to you dried in coverings or papered in small envelopes.

As far as the prices of Insect Catalog, these are reported to the specimen NOT mounted with wings and legs open in a symmetrical position, as they appear in the photos, which are purely illustrative. This is because the Arthropods, already mounted, are very fragile and easily broken during consigment. Need only think of a butterfly, suspended only for the pin with wings open! So you do not ask us, or do not expect butterflies with open wings, even ready inside a frame (which in any case would have a cost aside), because we do not sell similar items.

For those who don't know technical preparation (not born expert entomologists!), it's available (section Articles and Columns, in homepage on left side) a short Guide for Entomological Preparation (in Italian language, sorry!), free download, as to execute from himself the mounting and the sitting of Arthropods.

After preparation, you can set the animals in various containers of your choice (entomological boxes, boxes of cellophane or plexiglas, frames, diorama, etc.), and for these articles we send back you to our Equipment Catalog.
Like for every category, our catalogs are subject to frequent revision, therefore you often come back to visit us if you are searching for novelties.
And now.... good hunting!
