Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where do insects come from?
"Your collection is a contribution to saving ecosystems"
For Arthro Gallery, the ethical origin of the specimens is a priority. Most specimens are grown on special farms around the world. This helps to preserve wildlife: local residents receive income from insect breeding, which encourages them to protect forests from deforestation. After the natural completion of the insect life cycle, they are collected for collections and art.
What is the "Save the Jungle" project?
- Against deforestation: legal butterfly collection provides local residents with alternative income.
- Scientific approach: collection is done manually and selectively (up to 95% of males).
- Supporting biodiversity: part of the funds goes to environmental protection.
