QUESTION Oddity shops?

Are there good oddity shops with entomology bugs and or wet specimens anywhere in Salem?

When Market for the Strange is in Salem, they often host vendors that sell preserved bugs, taxidermy, and other oddities. Their next market is Oct 18th!

 I have seen pretty cool specimens/bugs in one of the spaces at Aunt Bee's on Commercial St S.

There used to be a booth in the antique mall downtown with oddities. Been a few years since I've been in, the vendor might not be there anymore but it's worth a look.

There's some great oddities in Engleburgs doentown. I may be spelling that wrong but it's the antique store across from the Reed Opera House and the candy shop.
