Four Real Framed Butterflies From Peru Mounted in Wood Display
The four species in this from are; Doxocopa elis, Eurema xantochlora, Callicore hesperis, Skipper 4.5" x 5.5" x 1.5" (Inches) Classic, brown wood finished, two-sided crystal glass, silicone sealed, wood frame These real butterflies are from farm raised in the Eastern provinces of Peru With both sides of this piece having crystal glass you can see all sides of each species Every specimen is entomologically dried, mounted and preserved to museum quality standards so they last a lifetime
Each butterfly is spread entomologically and professionally preserved (we do not cut the wings and glue them back on, use fake antennaes or fake bodies) - Our frames are not riker mounts nor shadow boxes, they are double-sided with crystal glass so you can see the front and backsides of each butterfly. One of the great benefits of double pane glass framing is that you can see the front and back sides of the mounted butterflies. In most cases involving Neotropical butterflies the front and back sides of the wings are distinctly different. The back many times displays a species distinct form of self defense. ---- Every butterfly guy from Ben the Butterfly Guy is obtained from the Eastern provinces of Peru, the country with the most species of butterflies in the world. Peru is a mega-diverse country with 86 of the 118 eco-systems that exist on the planet containing an estimated 3800 - 4400 butterfly species out of the roughly 20,000 species world wide. I have built strong friendships and work firsthand with a network of families in the provinces of Satipo, Tingo Maria, Atalaya and Iquitos. This provides a reliable, safe and legal source of income for these families. I also engage in educating sustainable environmental management as my assistance in conclusive studies in the field of Lepidoptera shows that the health of an eco-system can be determined by the diversity of butterflies found in that given area. In other words, damaged eco-systems harbor few if any butterflies. This message, when expressed with an economic resource, is the best way to spread awareness and more importantly education that will protect our beautiful rainforest.
