Clear Winged Butterfly In Glass Dome (Godyris duillia)

I can see Clearwing now the rain has gone

This Clearwing specimen is perfectly preserved and pinned. The glass dome really elevates what some people might see as a comparatively plain butterfly into an eye catching piece. I would recommend the brown wooden base option.

Female Rippons Birdwing In Box Frame (Troides hypolitus)

Gorgeous!

The only birdwing I have that's presented on the ventral side, and it's the right way round I think - this species actually looks pretty similar on the dorsal and ventral sides but the yellow markings on the ventral side are more interesting and more clearly defined. This is another really huge specimen and as always immaculately presented by the team at Minibeast

Forest Mother-Of-Pearl Butterfly In Box Frame (Salamis parhassus)

One of my favourite butterflies!

The iridescent pink/purple on this butterfly is so understated in the photos. It’s really quite hard to capture how gorgeous it is with a camera. The butterfly is such good quality and shines in the light. The frame is amazing quality. I understand why this butterfly is named so!

Stunning.

I asked for this beetle with the wings out and I’m delighted with the result.
Very impressive addition to my collection.
And also filled an awkward gap on my stairs nicely.

This has been such a great investment. My work takes me away from home for long periods of time and this has been the perfect way to have something nice to surprise my girlfriend with while I am away. Our apartment is quickly being filled with some great specimens and I'm always excited to see what shows up next.

Electric blue beauty

My first reaction out of the box was woooooow. The colour is beyond what pictures can do justice.

I also love that in different light you can see the symmetrical patterns in the wings. It’s a good sized frame too, a real centrepiece.

Colour-Shifting

Depending on how you look at this butterfly and what lighting it is in, it gives off an array of different colours which change each time I look back at it. This has to be one of my favourite pieces in my collection.

Agrias Butterfly In Baroque Style Box Frame
Agrias Butterfly In Baroque Style Box Frame (Agrias beata beatifica)

Agrias butterfly

Very nice vivid colour, perfect in a decorated frame!
The only thing that I think would improve the frame is if the name of the butterfly was at the bottom of it, like it is in the standard frames.

Not knowing what butterfly it is takes some charm out of the overall effect, it could put me off buying more decorated frames in the future....

But overall I'm pleased with the purchase
