Summary

Pathe synopsis: At a naturalist’s shop run by Richard Ford, in Welling, Kent, collectors can get anything from Penny Worms to glass eyes for tigers, besides many insects and fossils a great deal more valuable. Strange creatures like the Wafer-thin Fiddlers Beetle, so named for its remarkable resemblance to a violin; and the Strix from South America, largest moth in the world, make this shop a fascinating study.
