Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage real taxidermy butterfly collection housed in a unique double-sided glass wood frame.
Because the frame features clear glass on both the front and back, you can seamlessly view both the vibrant dorsal (top) patterns and the intricate ventral (underside) camouflage patterns of these incredible insects.
The collection is highlighted by a spectacular, large Blue Morpho centerpiece. When flipped over, you can see its stunning "Owl Butterfly" underside, complete with striking predator-mimicking eyespots. The collection also includes a highly sought-after "88" Butterfly (Diaethria), recognizable by the perfect natural number pattern on its lower wings, alongside various other vibrant tropical species.
