About

I'm Joris Rockx, owner of this business. I have a masters degree in entomology and am currently working on my PhD researching honeybee pollination at the University of Reading. 

Posing and framing charismatic insects allows me to channel my perfectionism into my passion for wildlife with some amazing looking home decorations as a result. I hope you like the things I make and if you do, please consider getting some for your home! Your support allows me to keep doing what I do.

Note: the pandemic beard has since been tamed a little!

Like many I have been fascinated by wildlife for as long as I can remember. I refined this interest when I did my biology degree (BSc). During this degree I first moved to the U.K. from the Netherlands to research pollinators. It was then that I met Fran, my now fiancée. I'm very thankful she likes insects! 

I started beetle breeding after catching some in Animal Crossing. I have bred a handful of beetle species but the ones I started off with are still my favourites: rainbow stag beetles (Phalacrognathus muelleri).
