. DISCLAIMER: None of the animals or insects used in these creations are protected or endangered. Most are domestic or from biological supply houses. NOTICE: Although one might intuitively feel that insect sales must be harmful to species, scientific evidence proves just the opposite. The raising and collection by hand of insects provides the money to encourage habitat preservation. If a rainforest dweller can gain a living by selling a crop of insects each year, she can r...esist the lure of one time only money to sell off the forest to a lumber company or the need for destructive forms of slash and burn agriculture. Permit systems are in place all around the world for the farming and collection of insects. This system of licenses, permits and inspections insure that nothing endangered is sold and that the harvest is sustainable. Governments in tropical countries are encouraging insect sales as a way to save their forests. All these shipments are inspected by U.S. Fish & Wildlife. One amazing success story is that of birdwing butterflies, some of the largest and most beautiful of butterfly species. The species for which farming and sales have been allowed have been brought back from the brink of extinction. Many once sold on the black market for thousands of dollars each, but are now legally available for $100 or less because farming has made them prolific again. Insect farmers and ranchers always take care to release a portion back into the wild to insure next years crop. Treat this insect specimen as you would any fine art object. Avoid exposure to extremes of temperature, humidity, or to direct sunlight. With proper care you will enjoy this marvel of the natural world for many decades to come

The Gray's leaf insect, (Phyllium (Pulchriphyllium) bioculatum), is a leaf insect of the family Phylliidae native to west Malaysia. It was first described by George Robert Gray in 1832, which was his first phasmid he discovered. Leaf insects have extremely flattened, irregularly shaped bodies, wings, and legs. They are usually about 5–10 cm long (2–4 in long). They are called leaf insects because their large, leathery forewings have veins that look similar to the veins on the particular type of leaves they inhabit.
