6. Framed Insect Collection, $68, small; $118, large
Insects from Southeast Asia are mounted by species and framed in fir wood. No two framed collections are the same. Each insect is farmed which helps to protect the biodiversity of the species. Choose from beetles, moths, dragonflies, and scorpions—each one different with its own identifying pattern and Latin identification name. Some are fluorescent and even glittery—the coolest thing to hang in an office. You can look like a real insect aficionado. (CZ)
