This listing includes 2 genuine butterfly specimens with an especially striking two-sided appearance. The upper side shows deep blue-green and dark metallic tones, while the reverse side reveals rich orange-red hindwings with contrasting dark forewings.
Both specimens are already spread and packed in a plastic box with soft cotton padding, making them suitable for collecting, DIY framing, insect art, or display projects.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Quantity: 2 real butterfly specimens
Wing position: Already spread / open
Quality range: A1–A-

Product type: Natural preserved butterfly specimens
The plastic box is mainly used for protection during storage and shipping. It is not intended as a finished decorative display case.
A DIFFERENT LOOK FROM EACH SIDE
One of the most interesting features of this butterfly is the dramatic difference between the two sides of the wings.
From one side, the specimen displays beautiful blue-green metallic tones against dark wings. From the reverse, the vivid orange-red coloration creates a completely different appearance.
This makes the specimens particularly attractive for collectors and creative projects where natural color variation is important.
NATURAL SPECIMEN NOTICE
Every butterfly is naturally unique. Slight differences may occur in:
• color intensity
• wing markings
• size and shape
• symmetry
• scale coverage
• minor natural imperfections
The specimens you receive may therefore vary slightly from those shown in the photos.
A1–A- QUALITY EXPLAINED
This listing includes specimens within the A1 to A- quality range. Your 2-piece order may contain two A1 specimens, two A- specimens, or a mixture of A1 and A-.
A1: Generally more complete and visually attractive for collection or display. Because these are genuine natural specimens, A1 does not mean completely flawless.
A-: May show minor scale loss, light wing-edge wear, small chips, slight asymmetry, or other small imperfections.
Please make sure this natural specimen quality range is acceptable before ordering.
FRAGILE PARTS
Real butterfly specimens are extremely delicate. During transportation, antennae, legs, abdomen, wing tips, and other fine parts may bend, loosen, or detach.
Because these specimens are sold at specimen / wholesale-value pricing, fragile parts such as antennae, legs, abdomen, and similar delicate structures are not guaranteed against transportation damage or loss.
