African Butterflies

Mother of Pearl framed taxidermy butterfly - Salamis parhassus

$64.00

Beautiful opalescent butterfly, Salamis parhassus from the Republic of Central Africa, presented in a handmade 6.5"x6.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on parchment paper with the scientific name and country of origin printed below. I cannot seem to get a good picture of this butterfly which has a really nice pearlescent sheen on its wings. Wingspan measures 3.55 inches across. You will receive the exact same perfect specimen shown in the pictures. Curious Kingdom has been lovingly crafting our handmade insect frames for over a decade. We have provided these natural displays for nature enthusiasts, museums, and television and film sets. Most of our insects are ethically sourced from farming operations located throughout the world. All of our insect frames are handmade from painted birch wood in the USA. I personally prepare each insect one at a time and put everything together here at my Bug Studio in Silver City, NM. All frames come with 99% UV protective glass so you don't have to worry about your investment ever fading. (Although it is a good idea to still keep out of direct sunlight.)
