I am looking to buy some home decor such as framed butterflies and maybe other smaller taxidermy like frogs and bats. I am okay with both online shops and physical shops as long as they are in Switzerland. Are there shops that sell these? Picture for reference.

Try etsy
These kind of things often appear in local conventions from a variety of crafty shops or artisans… look around when fairs pop up
Why would… nevermind.
I recently went to a butterfly garden where they explained that for every one of these framed butterflies, they have to kill 10 times as many. The reason is that the wings can get damaged and break off during the preservation and framing process. While I agree that these insects are beautiful and lovely to look at on your wall, I would suggest you consider not giving your money to a business that harms an insect population already under a lot of pressure. I would suggest instead going to see some real butterflies, for example at the Papiliorama and learning from the experts about these creatures: [**https://www.papiliorama.ch**](https://www.papiliorama.ch)
There is a shop that specialise in taxidermy in Fribourg, le cabinet des curiosités ! And they have framed insects!
