Bring the wonders of the rainforest into your home with this stunning, hand-curated vintage 9 butterfly display in excellent collector condition.
This 9 1/2in circular metal frame is made with double glass (the front glass being convex, the rear glass being flat) to allow natural light to filter through. This beautiful frame showcases a breathtaking array of tropical specimens, including:
(Central and Primary Specimens)
• The famed Blue Morpho (Morpho menelaus or Morpho didius): The vibrant, iridescent blue butterfly at the top center.
• White Morpho (Morpho polyphemus): The large, pale white/bluish butterfly in the absolute center. You can see the characteristic small "eyespots" (ocelli) along the edges of the wings.
• Orange-Barred Sulphur (Phoebis philea): The bright yellow butterfly at the bottom with distinct orange patches on the lower wings.
(Surrounding Specimens)
• Glasswing Butterfly (Greta oto): Located at the bottom left (roughly 7 o'clock). It is notable for its transparent wing membranes.
• Postman Butterfly (Heliconius melpomene): The black butterfly with orange and white/yellow bands on the left side.
• Julia Butterfly (Dryas iulia): The elongated, bright orange butterfly on the right side.
• Great Orange Tip (Hebomoia glaucippe): The white butterfly at the top right with prominent orange tips on the forewings.
• Small Postman or Longwing: The smaller black and orange patterned butterfly on the far right (roughly 3 o'clock).
An extraordinary gift for entomology enthusiasts, hikers, or anyone who appreciates the "Cabinet of Curiosities" aesthetic. This piece serves as both a scientific specimen display and a vibrant work of wall art.
Please note:
To preserve the vivid colors of the butterfly wings, display away from harsh sunlight and humidity to maintain quality and prevent fading/the loss of the blue iridescence of the Morpho. Shipped with care, no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Please view photos carefully as they are part of the description.
