BicBugs Review & Giveaway!

 



If you have someone on your holiday list this year that loves gemstones & framed insects, then BicBugs has got you covered! BicBugs has such an extensive collection of framed specimens and gemstones to choose from including harder to find pieces. I've always loved seeing framed butterfly collections in movies & TV shows growing up and I always wanted one of my own, so I've very slowly been building up a collection. Knowing the prices of a lot of pieces I can say that BicBugs has some of the best prices in the business & I love the quality of the pieces they offer. 

I worked with BicBugs once in the past & I am delighted to be able to work with them again this holiday season on a new review & giveaway. This time around I will be talking about two wonderful, framed specimens I received for review, plus I have three gorgeous gemstones to giveaway to one lucky winner. The blue/grey stone in particular is so stunning and really shimmers in the light. 

I was very excited opening up my PR package to see what they had selected & let out a squee when I spotted the luna moth. A luna moth has been at the top of my "want" list for quite some time alongside a hawkmoth so I am very pleased to finally have one in my collection. It is a stunning specimen; the light greens are so pretty, and I love looking at the delicate fluffy little antenna on it. The specific species of luna moth I received is the Actias Luna green Saturn moth which originates from the United States. They have other luna moths as well if you are looking for a rarer specimen. 

The second specimen I received was a male Antherina suraka pink bullseye Saturn moth from Madagasgar. This moth makes a great addition to my collection, I love the soft oranges, browns and pinks in the patterns of this moth. One of the things I appreciate about their framed specimens is that they aren't completely smashed under the glass in the frame, I have one specimen from another seller that was a bit smashed & over time the body of it looks a little funky. I also like that the frames are light weight & very easy to hang up on the wall. They look quite lovely with the rest of my collection! The large blue morhpo butterfly in my collection is also a BicBugs piece. 

Don't be fooled, butterflies & moths aren't the only specimens BicBugs sells. They also have a wide selection of different bugs including praying mantis, beetles & more plus they even had bats and wet specimens. Want to frame some butterflies yourself? They sell them unframed so you can frame them however you want. They also sell framing supplies, jewelry, clothing, gemstones and more.

One lucky winner is going to receive the two beautiful stones & necklace shown above! The purple stone is a Rhodonite palm stone pink black manganese inosilicate mineral Madagascar, the blue/grey stone is a Labradorite palm stone green blue gemstone mineral Madagascar and the necklace is a sodalite gemstone.
