Welcome to Enchanted Entomology, a home for the art and science of insect taxidermy! We are Kate and Gavin, the artists and entomologists behind the displays. Nestled in the picturesque town of Evergreen, Colorado, we bring the world of entomology to life through our handcrafted creations.
Our Story:
Enchanted Entomology is the culmination of a lifelong passion for insects. From a young age, Kate has been captivated by the intricate beauty of these creatures. This fascination led to an entomology class at Georgia Southern University, igniting the spark that would later become this business. Although this company began from Kate’s passion, Gavin is an essential part of its growth and daily life. He runs our storefront in downtown Evergreen, welcoming visitors, managing day-to-day operations, and helping share our work with the community. Together, we also work shows and events, bringing Enchanted Entomology beyond the storefront.
Our Craft:
Each display is meticulously handmade with care and precision. Our specimens are sourced from trusted wholesalers, antique entomology collections, and fellow enthusiasts who bring us specimens they encounter. Every insect is pinned by Kate, and every display is thoughtfully crafted to provide a simple and scientific approach. We believe the specimens should speak for themselves, showcasing the remarkable beauty of nature’s creations.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to share this passion and knowledge of insects with others. We love to inspire, educate, and instill a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of entomology. We believe that understanding and preserving these tiny wonders is not just a hobby, but a way to connect with the natural world.
Explore With Us:
Whether you’re a fellow entomology enthusiast, a curious learner, or someone looking for a unique and stunning piece of nature-inspired art, we invite you to explore our collection. Each display is a testament to our love for insects and the natural world, and we hope it brings a touch of enchantment to your life.
