Natural History

Giant Isopod – Bathynomus cf. giganteus, often regarded as the largest isopod species in the world, Bathynomus cf. giganteus is an extraordinary deep-sea crustacean, closely related to the common woodlouse but far more formidable in size and appearance.

These creatures are generalist scavengers, primarily carnivorous, feeding on the remains of dead marine animals such as whales, fish, and squid. They’ve also been known to prey on slow-moving species like sea cucumbers, sponges, and other benthic organisms—and in rare cases, even live fish. One individual was famously captured on camera feeding on a dogfish shark, showcasing its opportunistic feeding behavior.

In recent years, giant isopods have gained attention not only for their bizarre and prehistoric look but also as a culinary delicacy in certain Asian countries, where they can command high market prices.

This particular specimen was collected from a depth of approximately 900 meters in the Sulu Sea, Philippines, and is presented in a custom-made, One of a Kind glass vitrine — a striking and rare display piece for collectors and natural history enthusiasts alike.

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is a large and striking starfish known for its unique feeding habits and its role in coral reef ecosystems. It preys on hard, stony coral polyps and derives its name from the venomous, thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the biblical crown of thorns. As one of the largest starfish species in the world, it boasts a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. While it is most commonly found around Australia, it also inhabits tropical and subtropical waters, from the Red Sea and the East African coast across the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, reaching as far as the west coast of Central America. Wherever coral reefs or hard coral communities thrive, this species can often be found.

The adult Crown-of-Thorns is a corallivorous predator, primarily feeding on reef coral polyps, encrusting sessile invertebrates, and even dead organic material. It uses its numerous tube feet, located in distinct ambulacral grooves on its underside, to climb over coral colonies. With its flexible body, it closely conforms to the coral's surface, including the intricate structures of branching corals. To feed, it extrudes its stomach through its mouth, spreading it over the coral's surface to a diameter matching its own. The stomach secretes digestive enzymes that break down the coral tissue, allowing the starfish to absorb the liquefied nutrients. Remarkably, a single Crown-of-Thorns starfish can consume up to six square meters of living coral reef in a year.

A stunning geode featuring vibrant Amethyst crystals alongside beautifully defined cubic Calcite crystals. This remarkable specimen comes from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s finest geodes.

The formation of Amethyst is a fascinating two-stage process. First, a hollow cavity forms within volcanic rock due to gas bubbles trapped in lava as it cools. Over time, groundwater rich in silicates and other minerals infiltrates the porous igneous rock. As mineralized water flows through the hollow spaces, it begins to deposit layers of minerals, starting with Agate. Once this foundational layer is formed, conditions become ideal for Quartz—and eventually Amethyst—crystals to grow. Amethyst typically forms at low temperatures, often below 100°C, and sometimes as low as 60°C.

This particular geode is a rare find, with a striking contrast between the deep purple Amethyst crystals and the light, geometric Calcite formations. The edges are lined with a beautiful bluish hue, enhancing its visual appeal and making it an exceptional addition to any collection or interior space.

The Atlas moth is one of the largest lepidopterans, with a wingspan measuring up to 24 cm (9.4 in). As in most Lepidoptera, females are noticeably larger and heavier than males, while males have broader antennae. Both forewings have a prominent extension at the tip, with markings that resemble the head of a snake, a resemblance which is exaggerated by movements of the wings when the moth is confronted by potential predators.Their habitat is primarily dry tropical forests, secondary forests, and shrublands across South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, including Borneo.
