Bug Under Glass creates museum quality insect displays that showcase real framed butterflies, exotic moths, colorful mounted beetles, and one of a kind scientific natural history displays. B.U.G's museum collections of insect displays range from classic shadowbox displays with a single scientific specimen to elaborate natural history displays that feature butterflies with old maps or collage & decoupage inspired themes. However, Kevin's speciality and passion is for artistically posed beetle dioramas.
Every insect shadowbox display is designed and assembled by a biologist with a background in entomology, science education and years of natural history museum experience. His artistic skills, entomological background and passion for insects guarantee an expertly crafted insect display that is both educational and worthy of a museum collection; or simply a home or office.

Whether it be interior design, weddings, or a unique gift, Bug Under Glass is your source for unique museum quality insect art.
