About Dead Insects
Our Story
Running this website and business gets me outdoors, into nature, and interacting with it. I see a new bug almost every time I look and can be guaranteed that nature is prepared to surprise me for the rest of my life.
Our Products
Since 2015, we offer dead insects to students for school projects and insect collection assignments, insects to educators for use in their classrooms, and to the general insect hobbyist putting together dried insect displays for their personal enjoyment. We include free pins with orders to match the number of insects you buy, even when the insects you ordered are too small for pins. Some of our smaller, softer-bodied insects ship in 70% ethanol in small vials. Most insects are shipped directly from our freezer. This means that nearly all of our specimens arrive to you in a very fresh state, and in most cases were collected within the last calendar year and preserved in living condition immediately. They require no special or complicated steps to rehydrate. These insects require no "relaxing fluids" of questionable and potentially dangerous chemical composition, or syringes to inject them. If you are not ready to use your insects, simply place them in the freezer. Set the whole box in the freezer upon arrival, if you like, and just pull it out when you are ready to work with the insects.
