Meet the Team:

We are a tiny team of 3! Everyone doing a little bit of everything from prepping specimens, entomology, taxidermy, and display. Our owner Alessandra is our Entomology, Bone, and Pet Memorial Specialists, winning 2019 Worlds Taxidermy Championships for skeletal articulations. She teaches most of our Entomology Classes along with being the host of our Bug Club Tutorials on instagram. Alessandra grew her fascination of insects and natural sciences as a child, walking down to the Insectarium and Olympic gardens of Montreal, Canada and day-dreaming spirits and monsters as a mad scientist. Today, she's still dreaming up monsters through her ink blot art, but with a bachelors in printmaking and psychology, we're pretty sure she isn't mad. While she spends her days at Oracle, the rest of her time is split between working as an Artist Assistant at Staab Studios, Pet Memorialist, and as hobbyist arachnologists.
