Very rare metallic Silver beetle and butterfly framed specimens - Chrysina chrysargyrea + Argyrophorus argenteus

$502.00

Beautiful pairing of two stunning real metallic silver insect specimens, the Costa Rican Silver Jewel beetle Chrysina chrysargyrea and the silver butterfly, Argyrophorus argenteus from Chile. Presented in a handmade 5.5"x6.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper. You will receive the exact same framed specimens shown in the photos. The beetle measures 1.1 inches from top to bottom (not including the legs) and the butterfly measures 1.65 inches across. I have picked out my two finest specimens for this piece. They are pristine and very beautiful examples. 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.)
