Conservation

The Deadly Dapper Wing Collection features REAL butterfly and moth wings which are responsibly sourced. I purchase these specimens from insectariums and butterfly aviaries after they’ve lived their full, natural lives, then they are collected by their keepers once they’ve expired. That money then goes back into sustaining these facilities.

So, with each purchase of this one of a kind wearable art, you are also helping to reinvest in facilities and organizations that educate the public about deforestation, repopulate dying species, promote the reconstruction and preservation of forest and natural habitats, as well as teach natural science to children. By creating a demand and economy for Lepidoptera, together we are encouraging the preservation rather than destruction of tropical forests around the globe.

Thank you for your support!
