bf60b Taxidermy Entomology oddities curiosities Butterfly floating frame display

Description

BF60b # 9 This is a very nice Display with a  beautiful butterfly.   This would look great in any collection and also a great gift for those that love Butterflies!  This display is approx. 7 1/2 x 7"  He is surrounded by preserved fern.
This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed and also gives the specimen the
illusion of "floating"!
This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens or the elasticity strip usually are damaged when you open the display.  If the film in your display starts to stick together or gets some bubbles in it you can open the case very slowly so the film releases from both side and close again very slowly and the problem should be resolved.  If the film gets touched or is in a hot area this can happen but it is a very easy fix also s
ometimes in shipping the specimen can shift a little in the display.  If this happens please contact us and we will direct you on a quick and easy fix.
Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted.
HANGING DISPLAYS:  The floating displays all have removable bases so if you would like,  just a piece or two of Velcro or command strip will mount these right to your wall without a problem.
The case will keep him clean and safe for years to come!
Butterflies are loved by all and are one of our very favorite insects.  They do not sting or bite which makes them even more popular!     This butterfly has been showcased in a glass dome so it can be enjoyed for years to come.  These make wonderful gifts and are so beautiful most anyone receiving would be thrilled to have one!
species
Charaxes lucretius Butterfly
Charaxes
frequent sunny forest openings and glades where they rest with open or partly open wings sunning themselves. When alerted, they close the wings exposing the cryptic
underside. Certain favoured perches are selected and intruders are chased and driven off,
Charaxes
feed in part at oozes from tree wounds infested with beetle or other larvae and on rotting fruit (they come to hanging traps baited with fermenting banana). They lay their eggs on small understorey or marginal trees. Tender shoots are usually selected for egg laying but as the larvae grow they move to older leaves. Larvae rest on the upper surface of a leaf on which they have spun a protecting silk pad.

Also, before purchasing this item you must agree to the following: No claims for small broken parts such as antennae or a detached wing, antennae are so fragile that they cannot be guaranteed in shipping.  Wings and other small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part when purchasing items like these.  If there is a major problem I will take care of the matter.  See my feedback for confirmation.  I rarely have a problem but even with good packaging it is impossible for us to Guarantee that specimens will arrive totally intact although I have had no problems with any of the Butterflies to date.
