A beautiful Mountain Blue Swallowtail butterfly in a handmade wooden Baroque Style frame. The specimens are mounted on high quality acid free black conservation board with a black mount and striking white edge, all rounded off with Baroque Style corner protectors.

Ulysses is the Roman name for greek hero, a character in ancient Greek mythology. The upper side of the wings are iridescent electric blue, the underside is a darker black and brown mixture. The colours are produced by the microscopic structure of the scales, a phenomenon called structural colouration.

Its wingspan reaches 12-14 cm centimetres ( 5 - 14 cm )
