All material without geographical labels?

Yes, without geographical labels.

Oh, the material is ruined for nothing. A dust collector, not a collection.

However, it will be suitable as a gift for decorating the interior of a non-collector's home.

Interesting collections of insects. At the very least, they attract attention and arouse curiosity. 99.9 percent of people are not interested in the exact geographical label. The type, country, and region of the collection is quite sufficient for the aesthetic perception of the collection.
Storing animals eaten by skin eaters on mattresses that will never be processed, even with accurate geographical labels, is also an empty task, and also not interesting to anyone....

Well, yes. It'll do. But it is for a non-collector.

And most people are not interested in insects, or anything that crawls under their feet, either with or without labels. I insist: we need precision in terminology. What is presented here for sale is not an entomological collection. This is a decorative selection, an interior element, nothing more.

Insects are still cute. But they have no scientific value, due to the lack of labels. And for a person far from entomology just right.

The selection of bronzes is interesting.Goliaths and horns -you need to specify the exact size, very much affects the price

bring

And let me ask you an immodest question , did you collect or buy it?

A few words to continue the topic. A. Makarevich has frames with butterflies hanging in his dacha. And his guests always stay near it. Based on the notes of the magazine" 7 days " of the millennial year. I don't think it's for reading labels.

You write in Russian, maybe I'll understand what I wanted....

And the point of the above is that for the layman, far from the world of collecting, labels are not the most important thing.

YES, it's a pity, not a scientific collection, but as a decoration nothing sorry for the criticism, in the photo DSC01805.JPG the butterflies are not spread out very well. A large collection is good,but with labels it will be just fine!
