About Us
Featured On
unique insects from all over the world professionally preserved and artistically designed.
Coming from a family of entomologist and artists we have a great foundation and inspiration for our work. Growing up all our lives with art, nature, insects and travel has made us appreciate the diversity earth has to offer. All of our insects are ethically and humanely sourced after they have passed away naturally in museums, farms and sanctuaries across the country and the world.
OUR MISSION
We deeply care to raise awareness about the importance of insects in our world. Virgin tropical forests are declining at an alarming rate - over half have been cleared in the last 40 years. The cause for saving tropical forests is clear. Support comes from buying "products of the rainforest." In order for indigenous communities to save the rainforest, they came up with “Butterfly Ranching”. These farms enable the preservation of the Lepidoptera & Insects within their natural habitat. Money raised also helps sustain the community, children's schooling, medicine and simple living needs. Butterfly ranching enables these communities to have a better means of living that does not require forests clearing and land destruction. By making a purchase with Bug In The Box you are helping preserve the rainforest and support local communities in protecting the environment.
We have a great selection of seldom seen insects and butterflies from all parts of the world. Each of our pieces are labeled with their name, origin and meaning. We strive for our creations to bring a sense of joy and fulfillment to your home.
