Moths

Very rare Giant Emperor Silkmoth framed taxidermy - Gonimbrasia macrothyris - female - minor damage/repair

$898.00

Unbelievable! Very large and impressive female Emperor moth, Gonimbrasia macrothyris from Malawi, presented in a handmade 8.5"x8.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper. 5.15 inch wingspan, GIANT! The pictured specimen is the exact same perfect beast that you will receive. Been trying to get these in excellent condition for forever. I have only this one example available and she has exceptionally large "windows" in her forewings. There is a repair on the bottom of the right hindwing. Otherwise, stunning and perfect :) 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 New Orleans, Louisiana. 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.)
