my oddities collection so far (taxidermy, insects, bones, etc.)

disclaimer: all of the specimens in my collection are ethically sourced (either found by me, gifted to me or bought from ethical sellers)

First off, my pride and joy- Bernie. This is the only piece of taxidermy that I own for now but I’m planning to get more in the future. Raccoon skull that I bought, it looks way better than the other bones i own cause it’s been bleached.

Boar skull and bones that I found in the woods and cleaned myself

Another boar skull, this one was younger and missing its lower jaw.

This little sparrow skull that I found in my backyard most likely caught by my cat and she just left it there for months.

Little jars of teeth- the ones on the left are boar teeth and the other one is mine.

Jar of dried frogs

This one looks funky cause it was found hanging over a fence and it’s spine is broken.

Wall of bugs:

I got these from my grandpa

These too but I had to put them in a different frame

I mounted all of these myself except for the big one (morpho godarti) wich i put there cause the frame it was in before broke.

Chinese oak tussar moth and domestic silk moths- I’m gonna frame these too and add them to the wall.

A couple of stag beetles (male and female) that i mounted too.

Some other things: either damaged that I’m gonna use for crafts or I’m just not sure what to do with them yet.

Lastly, this snake that I found.

Maë	1738004744 haii! may i ask where does your passion come from ? was it a relative that passed it down on you or did you just developed it yourself ? even though i'm not into insects, taxidermy and all... it's a pretty cool collection ! Report Comment That's what I want to ask! by unknöwninnirvana; 1738004963; Report ahaha we almost asked the same question at the same time by Maë; 1738005039; Report honestly i think this hobby started because of my grandpa, hes really into entomology too and ive always admired the insects he had on display at his place. then i started collecting other stuff like bones and i recently started getting into taxidermy too by Baba Jaga ♫⃠; 1738008175; Report
