Papilio paris, the Paris peacock, is a species of swallowtail butterfly found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia at altitudes of up to 1,500m.

Aside from the bright splash of emerald green, the wings appear black at first sight, but are sprinkled with green scales.

What sets these displays apart from the rest?

The butterfly has been expertly prepared by hand to museum standards, and is mounted on conservation-grade foam in a hand-made, beautifully crafted case backed with Italian decorative paper. Absolutely ideal for wedding presents, Christmas and birthday presents, home decoration…

If you have any queries, or would like to request a different specimen, please get in touch! I have over ten years of experience in setting butterflies and making the display cases.
