Real Resin-Encased Scorpions Are This Season’s Darkest Décor Trend

When Nature Gets a Little Dangerous

Forget plastic pumpkins and foam spiders—this Halloween, the décor trend with real sting is authentic resin-encased scorpions. Each one, a real creature frozen mid-strike, gleaming under layers of clear resin.
They’re creepy. They’re gorgeous. And they’re scientifically fascinating.

At The Butterfly Connection, we celebrate the raw artistry of nature—transforming exotic specimens into timeless pieces of gothic beauty.

🔬 Real Science, Real Art

Encasing a scorpion in resin isn’t as simple as dipping it in epoxy and hoping for the best.
Every piece in our collection is created through a multi-stage preservation process that locks in every fine detail—from the curve of the tail to the shimmer of the exoskeleton.

The result? A specimen that looks suspended in glass, immune to time and decay.

🕯️ Styling Ideas for Your Lair

Resin-encased scorpions aren’t just creepy curios—they’re conversation-starting décor.
Here are a few hauntingly beautiful ways to display them:

• On a bookshelf beside vintage books and candlelight—think Victorian library meets dark academia.
• Under a glass cloche for a museum-specimen aesthetic.
• As part of a Halloween tablescape with moss, amber bottles, and flickering LEDs.
• In a shadow box with other preserved insects or butterfly wings from our natural history collection.

These pieces transform any surface into a mini museum exhibit—equal parts macabre and magnificent.

🎃 The Perfect Gift for the Curious and the Creepy

Have a friend who loves oddities and curiosities?
A resin-encased scorpion is the ultimate “you’ve never seen this before” gift.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind—no two creatures are exactly alike.
They arrive polished, protected, and ready to display straight out of the box.

(If you want to go bigger, consider pairing one with our resin-encased bats or tarantulas for a complete Cabinet of Curiosities set.)
