Premium A1 Quality Dry-Preserved Beetle Specimen
A luminous example of Eupholus geoffroyi — a jewel weevil from the family CURCULIONIDAE named in honour of Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772–1844), the visionary French naturalist and anatomist who proposed the radical idea that all animals share a common structural plan — a concept that prefigured modern evolutionary biology. His intellectual courage in challenging the orthodoxies of his day placed him among the most forward-thinking naturalists of the Enlightenment era. A species bearing his name carries that spirit of discovery and bold thinking. As a member of the genus Eupholus, geoffroyi embodies the visual brilliance the genus is celebrated for — vivid gem-like banding in electric blues, greens, and blacks that make the jewel weevils of New Guinea the most coveted weevils in the world. Dry-preserved to A1 museum standard, this specimen retains its full chromatic intensity and surface detail.

Really beautiful specimens. Perfectly spread and in perfect condition. Recommend
Fantastic specimens. Perfect and very pleased, thankyou!
This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
These were really great! Lots of variety and will be useful, thank you!
