Real butterfly specimen (in Yellowish clear paperweight)

Real butterfly (Common Bluebottle - Graphium sarpedon) specimen encased in indestructible lucite block. Safe, authentic and completely unbreakable specimen put real Butterfly right at your fingertips!

Anyone can safely explore the Butterfly from every angle. 

The pictures show the top and reverse side of the butterfly.

The butterfly wings are disassembled and laminated before embedding into the material so as to retain 100% of the original color(colors of butterfly are mostly powder particles attached to the wings), otherwise up to 90% of the color will be dissolved into the Lucite material after production and the wings become almost transparent.

Length of the Butterfly body is 2.7 cm (1.1 inch) and the wings stretch to 6.5 cm (2.6 inch).

Size of the lucite block is 8.2x8.2x1.9 cm(3.2x3.2x0.7 inch).

Each one comes with a cardboard box for easy storage.

Weight of the block is 120 g and 150 g with packing box.

This is a handmade real animal specimen craft. Each one will be a bit different (specimen size, color and posture) even in the same production batch.
The picture in the listing is just for reference as we are selling multiple pieces with the same picture.

It is an ideal learning aid for students and kids and also a very good collectible item.

Common Bluebottle - Graphium sarpedon

Habitat: Forest fringe and wooded areas

Forewing length: 40 mm

Distribution: Southern China and southeast Asian countries

The common Bluebottle has a pale blue-green band running from the dorsum to the apex of the forewing. Some red spots are presented on the underside of the hindwing. Both sexes are alike. This is a very fast flying butterfly and difficult to observe while in flight. However, the male, which seems to be more abundant, may be seen congregating at moist spots along forest paths or edge of streams.
