By purchasing a framed insect, you are also supporting nature and species conservation in the countries of origin , as our local breeders rely on the sale of the animals they breed, as this is usually how they earn their entire living. They also create and maintain habitats for species and protect existing habitats from insecticides and deforestation. It is also important that locals are made aware of environmental and species conservation issues through working with insects. The problem often lies in a lack of education.
