Enjoy 15% off specimens in our Halloween Sale collection with code HALLOWEEN15 at checkout!
A thoughtfully curated selection of dry-preserved insect specimens graded A2/B — commonly referred to as ‘seconds’ — these are specimens that fall outside collector-grade A1 standard due to imperfections such as missing or damaged antennae, slightly folded wings, chipped elytra, or other cosmetic irregularities that do not affect the overall form or character of the specimen.
Each pack contains a varied mix of species drawn from our stock, which may include beetles, leaf insects, spiders, scorpions, and other orders depending on availability. While not suitable for formal entomological collections, these specimens are ideal for a wide range of creative, educational, and craft applications.

As these are natural objects, each pack will differ in species composition, size, and character — no two packs are identical.
Please note: these are graded seconds and are priced accordingly. If you require A1 museum-quality specimens, please browse our collector-grade listings.

Sendung gut angekommen. Exemplare sind groß. Vielen lieben Dank
Really nice butteflies, thank you!
Der Artikel ist genau so wie beschrieben. Sehr guter Verkäufer. Gut Verpackt und schnell in die Schweiz geliefert. Hier kaufe ich gerne wieder ein. Ein sehr schönes Insekt.
I’ve probably ordered jewel beetle elytra from at least 15 different companies by now so when it comes to quality elytra I know my stuff and the quality that I just received from ArtButterflies is truly excellent. I would say that the average size from the 1,000 elytra package that I received is slightly larger than average, it’s a good mix of sizes. The shipping was also prompt considering that they are located in the UK and I live in Michigan. It took exactly 10 days to receive my order. If I ever need more jewel beetle elytra I will definitely buy from ArtButterflies again. Thank you!
Beautiful, and cute. Was packaged well!
I was kinda bummed out that I got all beetles instead of the mixed specimens I ordered so I messaged the seller and they are making it right. Ill definitely be coming back to this seller in the near future 😁
Great specimens as always!!! My favorite local supplier
Beautiful piece!

Great specimen but looks like some weighted object was used to flatten the centipede prior to drying, would like to see a thicker specimen hitting the shelves guys

Thank you for the quick delay and wonderful selection of insects.
Amazing seller great packaging! Would definitely do business again.
Specimens arrived in good condition and quickly
I've ordered from this company many times, always great communication and quality. This time there was an issue with the package being opened and tampered with while in transit (no fault to the shop). Joseph quickly made things right and offered to re-ship the missing items.
The beetles are beautiful and well preserved, I can’t wait to pin these!
