Rare iridescent framed Cattleheart butterfly taxidermy - Parides photinus

$92.00

Unique iridescent butterfly, Parides photinus from El Salvador, presented in a handmade 5.5"x5.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on parchment paper with the scientific name and country of origin printed below. This butterfly has an iridescent sheen and the red turns to hot pink when viewed from a certain angle. It is hard to photograph but I captured it a little bit.. Very cool! You will receive the same perfect framed specimen shown in the photos. Wingspan a little over 2.65 inches. 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.)
