Framed Dragonfly Specimen

Before there were wings sewn onto leather jackets, there were dragonflies, doing it perfectly for 300 million years.

The Common Green Darner, Anax junius, is one of the most visually striking specimens in entomological collecting, iridescent green thorax, long segmented body, wings that catch light like stained glass. It spends its adult life near rivers and waterways, moving fast enough that most people never get a proper look at one. Framed, it finally holds still. This is the kind of piece that works in a dark or industrial interior without trying to be anything other than what it is, a genuinely beautiful insect, preserved and presented by Bugs & Bits, an Australian vendor doing entomological framing properly.

Australian vendor, ships within Australia only. Framed and ready to hang. Each specimen varies slightly in appearance.
