INSECTSUK.CO.UK


One of the United Kingdom's largest suppliers of dried and preserved Butterflies, Beetles, Insects, Fossils and Taxidermy. Ideal for collectors, artists, photographers ,schools/universities and interior designers. 

We have sold items to world famous  artists (Damien Hirst) , television /film producers and the British Natural history museum

Before we start, please note that we currently do not have an E-commerce or basket on the website and so you will need a pen and paper at the ready to note down those specimens you wish to purchase - Old school we know, but it also allows us to check the quality before you purchase.

However you can pay electronically with your bank card/paypal

When you are ready, please email your order (or enquiry) through the 'Purchase + Contact us' tab.

 This is found in the drop down menu under 'information' in the top banner

Free UK  postage on  papered specimen orders over £50.00

We are always getting new stock -check our  New arrivals  page to see!

Please note whilst the site is fully operational, we are in the process of adding photographs - as there are so many species this is taking quite a while! I do aim to take photographs of the underside of butterfly wings as this is often neglected but can aid identification of the specimen.

As I am a biologist I can't resist adding some general information about each species , I hope that you find it both useful in identification and  interesting.

I am completing the butterfly section first.

Unless otherwise stated , all specimens are sent papered and folded , and will require setting by you. Alternatively I can set any for you for £5.50 (postage may be more ,due to the greater volume and packing required for set specimens)

Prices are for 1 specimen, but many items can be bought in larger quantities -see wholesale page- NB this page may not scroll on certain mobile phones. I have added thumbnail photographs to each species on the wholesale page.
