Choose from either one or three preserved, spread butterfly/moth specimens. These will be a random assortment of species, color, and size.
These real dried butterflies and moths are shipped with wings already SPREAD open (but is NOT in a frame), and are ready to be used in artwork or mounted in a frame, once unpackaged. Choose from A1 condition or craft grade/damaged condition (These may have small tears or worn spots, etc...).
These specimens can be used as wedding decorations, nature art, mothers day gifts, mounted shadowbox frames, or in baby rooms.
Since butterflies are dried and fragile, we recommend our spade tip entomology tweezers for handling butterflies:

Handling with fingers can cause scale loss on the wings.
We can accommodate special requests! Please send us a message and we can work with you on color, size, and species. Based on what we have in inventory, butterflies may take an additional 2 weeks to prepare for you.
NOTE: Shipping spread butterflies is extremely risky-they are very fragile. We DO NOT guarantee antennae and legs will arrive intact. If any damage to the wings occurs please let us know and we'll work together to help you out!
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED from responsible butterfly farms to protect wild populations.
IMPORTANT! We DO NOT use any threatened, protected, or endangered species. We are a licensed importer with US Fish and Wildlife Service and all our specimens are checked by customs to legally enter the USA.
