Indo-Asian Butterflies

Real Alpine Swallowtail framed taxidermy - Papilio maackii tutanus - Summer form - Victorian mount

$94.00

Real iridescent green, blue and black butterfly, Papilio maakii tutanus from Japan, presented in a handmade 7"x7" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper. You will receive the same perfect framed specimen shown in the pictures. This is a very large and rarely offered subspecies of the Alpine Swallowtail. The wingspan measures 4.65 inches. I have prepared this specimen with the wings slightly lowered, in the style that was popular during the late 19th century. 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.)
