New Butterflies from Indonesia, Papua and the Philippines

Hello Everyone

Insect Designs has just been updated with some restocks and new specimens from Indonesia, Papua and the Philippines. This includes some rare items including the very rare, newly described Papilio ulysses spp. Elizabeth from Ambon, and one very nice Morphotaenaris schoenbergi pair from Arfak. We also have a couple of Papilio ulysses females from Ceram.

I will be going away on holidays from tomorrow until Thursday. You are still able to place an order, but it will not be shipped and emails won't be answered until Friday morning. Thank you for your understanding.

Fresh specimens from the Philippines

Hello Everyone

A new box from the Philippines arrived today containing fresh specimens of previously out of stock items. Also included were a few very nice Papilio (Achillides) hermeli males. All of these items are now available on the web site for order.

In other news, a box from Cameroon arrived on Monday. Items from this box will be appearing in the African Singles page and Single Beetles page as they are updated over the next few weeks.

We are expecting a box from Indonesia to arrive today and a box from Costa Rica should arrive before the end of the month. Watch this space for further announcements.

Moths and Butterflies from Cameroon

Hello Everyone

The African Singles page at Insect Designs has just been updated with 109 different butterfly and moth specimens from Cameroon.

This page is different to the rest of the web site as only one of each specimen is available. Photographs on the African Singles page are of the actual specimens being offered. This page is popular with our regular customers as there are often hard to get specimens at great prices.

Hello Everyone

We have just updated the web site with some fresh beetle specimens from Thailand, including some new ones such as Xylotrupes gideon males, Batocera parryi males, stunning Batocera roylei pairs and huge Neocerambyx gigas pairs (the golden sheen on the gigas is amazing).

New specimens just arrived

Hello Everyone

This is just a quick note to let you all know that packages from India and Thailand arrived today. You should see some interesting new specimens on the web site in a few days.  Packages from the Philippines and Cameroon are also in transit. I have also been able to secure some really nice items from Indonesia, including a newly described, very rare, Papilio ulysses ssp from Ambon.  I will be getting two of these. These should arrive within the next one to two weeks, depending how things go in customs.

Fresh specimens from RCA just added

Hello Everyone

Things have certainly been busy at Insect Designs during this past week!

Today we have just added some fresh specimens from RCA, including several that have have been out of stock for a while. We were also able to purchase some nice Papilio zalmoxis at a good price, so we have been able to reduce the price for these on the site.

We have also been ordering lots of material from our suppliers. We were hoping to receive fresh packages from India and the Philippines this week, but the ail has been slow. These should arrive next week. We are also expecting new specimens from Thailand and Cameroon within the next week.
