Real Giant Emperor Swallowtail butterfly framed taxidermy - Papilio ophidicephalus - Victorian mount

$92.00

Real Emperor swallowtail butterfly, Papilio ophidicephalus from Tanzania, presented in a 7.5"x7.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on white paper. Such an amazing pattern, I think it would look really good as a tattoo. Very large wingspan measures 5.15 inches across. Pristine. You will receive the same perfect specimen shown in the pictures. 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.)
