Maintenance Tips

When looked after the right way, preserved insect specimens can last a life time, and many collections are passed down generation to generation.

  • Please keep the lid of your insect box or dome closed at all times, and only clean the outside of the case.

  • The biggest culprit in damage to dried insects is humidity, so make sure to keep your art away from bathrooms, or other damp environments.

  • Avoid exposing your collection to direct sunlight for long periods.

  • If you can, for maximum maintenance, place your box in a freezer for a couple of days every coupe of years, this will help preventing parasites.
