Bug pinning setup with bug pinned to small styrofoam board. Foot of table lamp with butterfly hair clip in the upper left, jar with isopropyl soaked cotton pad in upper right corner. Tools like tweezers and pins on the table on the bottom right part of the photo. The pinned bug is looking very cute by the way.

Having a relaxed evening pinning this little guy. Since I only work with bugs that died from natural causes some specimens might be missing parts. This one is sadly missing four feet but still looking cute.

I like drawing but I also love working with physical things, one of those being bug taxidermy. Thought id share on here since I never really have.

Still images of my commission. It was very delicate work but I'm proud of how it came out!

Here is my first commission for a friend of mine! It features a green birdwing butterfly and cecropia moth. I'm really pleased with how it turned out and my client is very happy! Couldn't ask for more.

"The Proposal"

This piece uses giant water bugs, and mimics a dreamy proposal. I made this for my wife, using the flower I tucked behind her ear the night we got engaged. It's a very special piece to me!

Here's a still image of Talkative Silence. I love how this piece came together.

This art piece was made from humanely sourced insects, all found already passed by people I love. I call this piece "Talkative Silence", as oftentimes the most can be said during times of silence.

First we'll start off with an unpinning and crafting video! This was a small project made with insects found passed in the wild from people I love. :) Here you can see it all coming together!

The moths are dry! First time pinning this species and their eyes and abdomens deflated. Next time I wanna look more into how to stuff them. Fluffy moths are just harder to work with because of how easily their fluff flakes off like poorly done flocking

This is an insect pinning of my Darth Vader Mantis. It's been almost a year since I pinned him.

here’s the final result of my first grasshopper pinning! (found dead) it’s absolutely not perfect whatsoever.. but it’s my first specimen that didn’t completely fall apart 🎉

#entomology #insects #insect #insectpinning #grasshopper #locust

(also i plan on fixing the wings, i realized after i took the picture that the left one has a part that wasn’t pulled out all the way)

I usually go for a cottage core / faerie core type of vibe when I make their little homes 🖤🐝 #insectpinning

Pinned mantis I did a few months back
while it wasnt a "perfect" specimen, I loved working with him. This is my first attempt at any kind of bug pinning and I'm still so proud of how it came out
