Add a romantic touch to your decor with this sustainably sourced male clearwing butterfly (Cithaerias species). The specimen features beautifully transparent wings with a soft blush of pink on the hindwings. It is mounted inside a vintage ceramic-style frame adorned with raised rose bouquets, accented by real dried roses on the inside to mimic the frame’s floral design. This piece is highly versatile, coming equipped with both a hanging wire and an easel back so you can easily style it on a tabletop or mount it on a wall.
Fun Facts: Their transparent wings are an incredible trick of natural engineering. Unlike most butterflies that get their vibrant colors from microscopic overlapping scales, clearwings lack these scales entirely on the translucent parts of their wings. This allows light to pass straight through them, making them nearly invisible to predators.
Please note: This piece features an upcycled, thrifted frame. Minor imperfections on the frame or glass may be present due to age and character. All pieces are carefully cleaned and repaired while preserving their vintage character.
