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.
