Please note that the bee names are based on amateur research and may be incorrect.
To preserve them, after drying, they were frozen for over 2 days (to kill insects and prevent further infestation) and then sealed in a plastic case with a desiccant and taped shut to prevent any pests from entering.
The specimens will be shipped in the display plastic case shown in the photos, secured with insect pins on a styrofoam board.
The plastic case is taped shut; please remove the tape carefully when opening the lid.
The items will be shipped via RakuRaku Mercari便 with cushioning material and a fragile sticker. However, we cannot be held responsible for any damage during transit. Please only purchase if you understand and accept this.
If you purchase two sets of these specimens in plastic cases, we will offer a discount of approximately 500 yen on shipping. Please let us know via comment or a bundle purchase request.
