About Butterfly Designs
The way Butterfly Designs construct their custom displays is actually a forgotten art, and few taxidermy display manufacturers still do it—or, more often than not, they don't do it very well. For the security of your insects, the museum-grade glass they use in their exhibits is integrated into their frames as they are put together. Glass that is loose or that has been pinned in front of a frame won't be strong enough to provide the seal required to protect your insects. Once more, this is the reason they hand-make each of their authentic archive shadow box displays. To ensure that your butterflies and other insects don't fade over time, Butterfly Designsexclusively utilize 99% UV Blocking glass inside of their frames. Even insects kept out of direct sunlight would swiftly deteriorate without the use of this glass.
