Phyllium Bioculatum / Gray's Leaf Insect

This Taxidery Specimen has been lovingly prepared, relaxed, reset & framed for you on a farm in picturesque Devon, England. All of our Specimens are from captive bred or sustainably sourced through research institues or private breeders world wide.

Sadly the art of Entomology has often been vilified as macabre or even unethical. However thousands of Entomologists worldwide enjoy breeding and rearing Moths and Butterflies offering a wealth of knowledge and experience hitherto unknown by any other means. These tireless individuals help keep alive breeding programmes and promote conservation. Various release sites have shown that species can be successfully introduced/re-introduced under the correct circumstances. In third world countries insect rearing and sustainable harvesting is helping support local communities.

All hanging Specimens should be properly installed with the correct sized picture hook that is appropriate (size standard 37mm). Outer cases should be regularly dusted to avoid the dust getting onto your beautiful Specimen. Other than that all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your stunning piece!
