In the Beginning....

In the beginning I was, then I realized that there was a world of living things all around me and my fascination with all living things began. I have been involved with nature in one way or another, I have done work for the local zoos education department preparing specimens for display, and also I have been involved with various other nature organizations volunteering or working. Our aim at Insectopia is to encourage public involvement by inspiring a new generation of amateur naturalists with a deep appreciation of nature through collecting these beautiful insects also to support the growing number of Eco friendly butterfly farms throughout the tropics.

I started my insect collection as a kid by collecting insect off the front of parked car grills, most specimens were not much more then a legs or wings. Anyways I learned to catch specimens and in short order I had begun my exciting joinery as a Bug hunter.

So in short that’s how I began with insects and began selling them about 9 years ago as a hobby and it continues to grow as a business. I am always on the lookout for new catchers to buy from or trade specimens.

We at Insectopia will bring you the best quality specimens at competitive prices. We also provide finished products such as professional Museum framed butterflies and beetles, also insects under glass domes these make beautiful and unique gifts and are always well admired.
