This golden display features two vibrant bluebottle butterflies (Graphium sarpedon) with their signature neon turquoise bands, alongside creamy-white Melete butterflies, and three custom, hand-gilded gold butterflies that reflect the light beautifully. The entire collection is mounted inside an ornate gold frame composed of sculpted metallic butterflies. Equipped with both an easel back and a hanging hook, it is ready to style easily on a shelf or mount on your wall.
Fun Facts: The bluebottle butterflies featured in this piece are among the fastest flyers in the insect world. Unlike most butterflies that lazily drift through the air, bluebottles have highly specialized flight muscles that allow them to cut through the canopy in sharp, erratic zig-zigs at high speeds. Their brilliant turquoise wing patches are completely translucent and lack typical butterfly scales, giving them a brilliant, shimmering iridescence that acts as a natural flashlight to signal to one another mid-flight.
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.
