Rare purple Leafwing butterfly framed deals taxidermy - Fontainea species

Rarely offered iridescent purple Leafwing butterfly, Anaea species from Peru, presented in a 5"x5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper.

You will receive the same perfect specimen shown in the photos. I was unable to identify this one down to the species but it is close to Fontainea nobilis. Beautiful sheen.

I only have one of these to offer. Wingspan measures 1.8 inches.

Curious Kingdom has been lovingly crafting our handmade insect frames for over a deals 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.)

Combined shipping for multiple purchases is just $2 extra for each additional bug.
