$216.00

This composition includes two of the most beautiful real insects in the world. On the bottom is a highly iridescent blue Morpho butterfly, Morpho zephyritis from Peru. Posed above it is a real gold Jewel beetle, Chrysina resplendens from Costa Rica. Presented in a handmade 6.5"x8.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper. You will receive the exact same perfect specimens shown in the pictures. The Morpho wingspan measures 4.2 inches across. The gold beetle measures .85 inches from top to bottom, not including the legs or antenna. 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.)
