Rare XL Old World Swallowtail butterfly framed taxidermy - Papilio machaon hippocrates - summer form female

You will receive the same perfect framed butterfly shown in the photos. This is the first time I have been able to source this beautiful and very large subspecies from Japan. It is absolutely spectacular! More than twice the size of most of the others I have worked with!

Wingspan measures 3.95 inches.

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