Moths

Rare Brilliant Carpenter-bee Hawkmoth framed taxidermy - Sataspes tagalica

$132.00

Rarely offered real Brilliant Carpenter-bee Hawkmoth, Sataspes tagalica from Laos, presented in a handmade 5"x5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on parchment paper with the scientific name and country of origin printed below. This is a species of moth which mimics the physical appearance of carpenter bees, how cool! 2.1 inch wingspan. You will receive the exact same framed specimen shown in the pictures. This is the first time I have ever been able to offer this species and I only have a few available at the moment. 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.)
