Green Butterfly Swallowtail (Papilio Palinurus) Genuine Framed Specimen

The rainforest doesn't do subtlety. Neither does the Emerald Swallowtail.

Papilio palinurus is one of those insects that looks like it was designed by someone who thought nature wasn't doing enough. Broad bands of iridescent emerald run across both wings, and in direct tropical sunlight those fluorescent pigments hit different, almost neon, almost wrong, definitely unforgettable. Spotted in flight through dense canopy it's been described as a flash of green fire. Framed and still, it's a piece of gothic natural history, the kind of object that makes a room feel like it belongs to someone with actual taste. Bits & Bugs presents this genuine specimen properly, the way a thing this strange deserves to be seen.

Genuine Papilio palinurus specimen, ethically sourced and presented in a black shadow box frame, ready to hang. Minor variation in size and positioning is natural to each individual specimen.
