Rare Picasso bug framed taxidermy - Sphaerocoris annulus

$66.00

Beautiful and seldom offered real Picasso bug (Zulu bug), Sphaerocoris annulus, presented in a handmade 4.5"x4.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper. Very tiny! Only measures .4 inches from top to bottom. I have been trying to source this species for over 10 years and have never once seen them offered so I am very excited to finally be able to offer a few here in my shop. Unfortunately the intense coloration of the live specimens is mostly lost when they dry, as you can see in the photos. You will receive the same perfect framed specimen shown in the photos. 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.) 10
