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.IMG-3406 Raccoon skull that I bought, it looks way better than the other bones i own cause it’s been bleached.

IMG-3407 Boar skull and bones that I found in the woods and cleaned myself

IMG-3408 IMG-3409 Another boar skull, this one was younger and missing its lower jaw.

IMG-3410 This little sparrow skull that I found in my backyard most likely caught by my cat and she just left it there for months.

IMG-3403 Little jars of teeth- the ones on the left are boar teeth and the other one is mine. 

IMG-3396 Jar of dried frogs 

IMG-3397

IMG-3399 This one looks funky cause it was found hanging over a fence and it’s spine is broken.

IMG-3398 Wall of bugs:

IMG-3392 I got these from my grandpa 

IMG-3393 These too but I had to put them in a different frame

IMG-3390 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.

IMG-3139 Chinese oak tussar moth and domestic silk moths- I’m gonna frame these too and add them to the wall.

IMG-3391 IMG-3405 A couple of stag beetles (male and female) that i mounted too.

IMG-3401 Some other things: either damaged that I’m gonna use for crafts or I’m just not sure what to do with them yet.

IMG-3404 IMG-3400 Lastly, this snake that I found.

IMG-3402

WHOAAAA, this is so cool!!! :3
I have one or two animal bones/skulls for myself, but whole boar skulls? incredible.
I love the bugs as well, especially the moths and butterflies. My mum once had to make a display case with lots of bugs in it before for Uni, and I own it now :]

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 !

That's what I want to ask!

by unknöwninnirvana; ; Report

ahaha we almost asked the same question at the same time

by Maë; ; 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
