Hey! I’m Rita and I’m the creator behind Moth and Petal. I study ecology and biodiversity conservation at university and this is where I first learnt how to pin and preserve insects. I became completely enamoured with the diversity and wonder of the world of entomology and I am delighted to be able to share this passion with you. Many of my stunning specimens would ordinarily live for just a few weeks, even days, so it is very special to me to be able to preserve their beauty in a meaningful and lasting way.

I carefully source all of my specimens from reputable and sustainable insect farms. I hope you enjoy these wonders as much as I do!
