Papilio Heraclides cresphontes, Giant Swallowtail Butterfly, framed butterfly, taxidermy butterfly, wall decor, entomology present 

The Giant Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio cresphontes) is a striking and sizable butterfly species known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 15 centimetres (6 inches). Its wings are predominantly black, marked with vibrant yellow bands and spots, creating a distinctive pattern. One of its most remarkable features is its "swallowtail" appearance, with elongated projections on its hindwings resembling the tails of swallows. These tails can deter predators and serve as a form of defence.

Giant Swallowtails are found in various habitats across North and Central America, including woodlands, gardens, and citrus groves. They have a strong, graceful flight and are known for their agile manoeuvres. Their larvae, commonly known as caterpillars, are unique in appearance, resembling bird droppings to camouflage themselves from predators.


We firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading.
This allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.

Please take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.
