Blood Red Glider Butterfly Genuine Framed Specimen

There's a reason the colour red has meant danger, power, and something you probably shouldn't touch across almost every culture on earth. Nature figured it out first.

Cymothoe sangaris, the Blood Red Glider, is found in the rainforests of West and Central Africa, and its colouring is not subtle. The males are an almost aggressive shade of red that reads less like decoration and more like a warning. It's the butterfly equivalent of a band patch you don't wear unless you mean it. In gothic and dark alternative spaces, insects like this sit at the intersection of natural history and the macabre, the kind of object that belongs next to your horror paperbacks and your record collection, not in a suburban dining room. This is a genuine specimen, not a print, not a replica.

Genuine preserved Cymothoe sangaris butterfly, professionally framed. Origin: West and Central Africa. Frame dimensions vary slightly per specimen.
