Framed Insects & Sweeps

Fabricated completely with acrylic, these frames are fashioned in a contemporary style allowing unobstructed viewing of the remarkable insects held within. Acrylic naturally blocks UV rays helping to preserve the natural colours of the insects inside. Completely sealed, these frames will preserve the specimens from the damaging effects of humidity or pests such as dermestids or mites without the use of fumigants.

A great gift for nature enthusiasts of any age! Each frame comes with acrylic clips to allow for easy mounting on any wall, or they may easily be stood on any desk or table, sure to brighten any room!

Custom sizes and selections are possible. Please inquire.
