Three real specimens in one black frame: a Green-banded Urania (Urania leilus), a Pyracmon Eighty-eight (Catagramma pyracmon), and a Numilia Catonephele (Catonephele numilia).
Frame size: 4" x 7".
The frame is double-pane glass with no backing board - the specimens sit between two panes of glass, so whatever is behind the frame shows through. The white background in the photos is our photo backdrop, not part of the frame.
The Green-banded Urania at the top looks like a butterfly but is actually a day-flying moth, with metallic green bands and long tails, found in tropical South America east of the Andes. Below it, the red-and-black Catagramma belongs to the "eighty-eight" butterflies, named for the markings on their wings. The Catonephele at the bottom is a male - males are dark with bright orange spots, while females of the species look completely different, with yellow bands.
Ethically scavenged: all of our butterflies and insects come from an insect sanctuary in Peru. Once they pass away naturally, they are gathered and framed - no creatures are harmed for these pieces.
Please note: each specimen is a natural, one-of-a-kind piece. The photos show a representative example of this frame, and the specimens you receive may vary slightly in size, coloring, or pattern from the ones pictured.
