Artistic insect collections
I created this treasury on Etsy today, with works of art that feature collections of insects. Some are originals, prints, photographs, there’s even a t-shirt! Click the image below to go to the treasury and investigate individual listings.

Yes that shop is awesome! I’ve been coveting so many things by her. For this treasury I picked artwork that didn’t actually include insects, but I’m going to make another soon that does have them. Spending time checking to see if the shops divulge their sources, because I won’t buy from a shop unless they say where/how the insects were collected or raised.
I have thoroughly enjoyed skimming through your blog, and will definitely read more when I get a chance. I’m also interested in caterpillars – I focus on silk-producing species, with an eye toward textiles – my website at http://www.wormspit.com has a lot more info.
Not on Etsy, but this shirt: http://www.compleatnaturalist.com/mall/fgt_lepidoptera.asp has really been fun – it’s definitely one of those “let your freak flag fly” type things. Whenever I wear it out somewhere, I inevitably end up in a conversation with someone about insects.
I’ve come across your website before and think it’s great! Glad you’ve been enjoying mine. Now that it’s getting warmer around here, there will be lots more to talk about 🙂
