Authentic Specimen Kit (Shipping Included) / Moss Ball Interior

This is an innovative kit that allows you to enjoy creating truly authentic specimens.
It is the flagship product of the art specimen brand Koke-maru.
*Please note that dead insects are not included.
This is our recommended product, supervised by Kazuki Kondo, the representative of Koke-maru Interior, and includes items he actually uses.
Not only does it include a set of tools and cases, but it also comes with two instructional videos (① Normal Specimen, ② Spread-Wing Specimen) to visually guide you through the specimen-making process, making it easy for anyone to get started.
Designed for all ages and genders, including beginners, to enjoy creating specimens.

[Precautions]
1. Recommended timing for starting work
We recommend starting the process as soon as possible after the insect has died.

2. Insects unsuitable for specimen creation
This kit is exclusively for beetles (insects with hard exoskeletons like rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles). It is not suitable for butterflies or moths.
Furthermore, we believe that insects that have already decayed pose a high risk of pest damage even if properly preserved as specimens.

3. Storage
① Display finished insect specimens in a location that avoids high temperatures and humidity.
② Applying liquid insect repellent (sold separately by Koke-maru Interior) to the back of the cork inside the case every six months to a year will enhance its insect-repelling effect. (Maintenance)

4. Shelf life
The shelf life is approximately 1 year.
Please understand that the effectiveness of the liquid insect repellent included in the set will diminish as it evaporates.

5. The back panel has been renewed since June 2025. (The easily peeling cork sheet type has been discontinued.) It has been upgraded to a material that is resistant to heat and warping.
