Welcome to BugsDirect Ltd. Leading Suppliers of Worldwide Entomology Specimens (Retail/Wholesale)
Our A2/B grade butterflies are real, ethically sourced specimens that carry minor imperfections — a slightly damaged antenna, a small wing nick, or a missing leg. Each butterfly is still carefully packed and presented; they simply don't meet the exacting standards of our A1 collector grade.
These are a favourite with artists, crafters, and jewellery makers who prize the natural beauty of real butterfly wings without needing museum-perfect condition. They're also ideal for anyone learning butterfly spreading and relaxing techniques — a cost-effective way to practise before working with premium specimens.
You'll receive 100 dry-preserved, unmounted, papered butterflies in an assorted mix of worldwide species. Expect a broad variety of colours — from vivid tropical blues and oranges to natural earthy tones — and a range of sizes from small to large.
Every specimen is sourced from butterfly rearing projects and through ethical collecting methods in Thailand. These programmes support rural village livelihoods and provide a sustainable alternative to slash-and-burn agriculture, helping to protect native habitats.
We supply a full range of entomology accessories including pins, spreading boards, tweezers, and display cases — everything you need to work with your specimens.

One was slightly damaged but both are beautiful specimens. Fast shipping. Definitely recommend seller.
Perfect, thank you! Really appreciate
Beautiful specimens, had a problem with customs in my country but it wasn't that big an issue. Can't wait to buy more eventually!!
Never received my egg! Was very disappointed. Tracking said it was in customs for over 10 days… gave up and got my money back right away!
Beautiful. Thank You, I love it :-)
These are really big! Perfect specimens in perfect condition on arrival. Very pleased!
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!
These are HUGE and perfect specimens!
