frequently asked questions
Where do you source your specimens?

We work with a select group of insect breeders and licensed importers who responsibly collect deceased specimens from insect farms and aviaries worldwide. We prioritize sustainability by only partnering with farms that uphold ethical practices, such as preserving local habitats and releasing a percentage of butterflies back into the wild to help boost their populations.

We avoid collaborating with companies involved in smuggling, the sale of endangered species, or the irresponsible sourcing of bats.

If you have any questions about our sources, please feel free to contact us directly. We value transparency and would be happy to answer any further questions!
Are any of these species endangered?

No. It is illegal to sell endangered species. All of our products are legal to sell, own, or buy.
do you offer custom orders?

Yes! I do accept custom orders — just send me a message on Instagram to get started. (@daturabloomco)

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin your piece, and please allow up to 10 days for completion (maybe even more just depending on what you're asking for!)

While I’m currently unable to offer double glass frames (this may change in the future), I can create custom pieces using the following options:

  • Shadow boxes (scientific style frame): $50–$110 depending on the specimen
  • Vintage or Repurposed frames: Starting at $80. Can include real dried flowers
  • Brass frames (gold or black): $45–$55 various shapes available — heart, octagon, hexagon, diamond, square, rectangle, circle, and more. Can include real dried flowers

If you need specific frame dimensions or have a vision in mind, just ask — I’m happy to work with you to create something special!
