Bluebottle Butterfly Specimen in Resin

The Bluebottle Butterfly moves faster than most people can track, which makes it quietly fitting that the best way to appreciate one is when it's completely still. Native to Australia and across parts of Asia, Graphium sarpedon is the kind of creature that makes you reconsider what blue even means.

This one is set in resin rather than a traditional frame, which changes the whole register. Less natural history museum, more something you'd find in a concept store in Fitzroy or a prop from a film where nothing good happens to the protagonist. The blue-green wing patterning under resin has a depth to it that glass-mounted specimens don't quite replicate. It's a genuinely strange and beautiful object, which is the only bar that matters here.

Single Bluebottle Butterfly specimen suspended in clear resin block. Display ready, no additional framing required. Sourced through Our Earth Life from ethically collected specimens. Dimensions vary slightly per piece, natural variations in wing pattern apply.
