Bugs in Art

All of the frames below are 5 inches by 7 inch frames. They are all made of wood and are quality items. These are made by a Colorado artist who always does the best of the best work. You can buy these with confidence, since you will be getting the highest of quality and artistry.

We met JB a number of years ago at an art show. When I saw his work, I knew that his artistry was what I was looking for. While he is not cheap, his work is the best I have ever seen. We buy from JB because his art is top notch, you can buy with the same confidence. If you need something special for that area in your house or office, you will find it here.

Madagascan Sunset Moth

Widely regarded one of the most beautiful lepidoptera in the world, this is not a butterfly at all, but a day-flying moth! Its wings were prized for use in jewelry in Victorian England, and its image is ubiquitous among lepidoptera fans around the world. The common name for this amazing moth comes from all the colors of a sunset displayed in the wings. Found only on Madagascar, Africa.

Violin beetle
Mormolyce phyllodes

This singular insect is also called the Guitar Beetle or the Great Fiddler Beetle because of its uncanny resemblance to these stringed instruments. It's origin is the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, and it is a member of the ground beetle family. It's strangely flat design suits it perfectly for fitting between the bark and wood of decaying logs where it hunts for food.

Sternocera Jewel Beetle

Thailand is one of the most wonderful parts of the world for jewel beetles like this one. From one end it looks metallic green, from the other, a deep iridescent blue. Iridescence in beetles is caused by varying air pockets between layers of chitin, the material that makes up the hard shell. It creates what is called a "chirped filter" result in dazzling metallic color.

As a company policy, Amberica West™ does not trade in endangered, rare or otherwise protected wildlife. We source our supplies of common, abundant insect species from Government regulated ranching cooperatives in 15 Countries; your purchase actually aids environmental conservation rather than detracting from it. The Philippines is the world's leading exporter of captive bred insects, supplying most of the butterflies to theme parks in Europe and North America. Indeed, export of all wild-caught fauna was banned since 1994. Furthermore, all of our frames are not made from real wood. Ethical concerns over deforestation in many third world countries has led us to pioneer the use of timber substitute framing.

All the butterflies, other insects and arachnids found in Amberica West™ are REAL! We do not alter, enhance or otherwise modify their natural color.

Many of the framed insects are ranched/farmed specifically for the purpose. We do not trade in species that are regarded as rare or endangered.

These animal mounts are as beautiful as you think they may be. They can take your breath away with how they look! Remember, have a 100% money back guarantee with everything we sell.
