Look and you will find an undiscovered world in your own backyard. I can find an insect or spider or other bugs I've never seen before almost every time I go outdoors. So can you! The world is a very interesting place where as few as 10% of organisms are even named. Behaviors specific to each species and interactions among various organisms within environments form ecosystems more complex than the sum total of all human imagination. Nature is a perfect system where even synthetic materials are eventually reabsorbed.

12/18/24: Please note that any new orders placed on the site from 12/18 through Jan 5th will not ship until the week of Jan 6th, 2025. The reason for this is simple. Both Christmas and New Years Day fall in the middle of the week this holiday season and that prevents us from being able safely ship your living orders on any Monday, Tues, or Wed (our normal shipping days). Again, you are welcome to place an order but it will NOT ship until the week of January 6th, 2025.
