Real butterfly (The Cruiser - Vindula erota) specimen encased in square indestructible lucite block. Safe, authentic and completely unbreakable product put real Butterfly right at your fingertips!

Anyone can safely explore the Butterfly from every angle.  

 

Length of the Butterfly body is 3.0 cm (1.2 inch) and the wings stretch to 7.7 cm (3.1 inch).

Size of the lucite block is 8.2x8.2x1.1 cm (3.2x3.2x0.4 inch).

 

Each one comes with a cardboard box for easy storage.

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

 

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.

 

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 pictures in the listing are just for reference as we are selling multiple pieces with same pictures.

 

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