Jewel Beetle Chrysochroa Rajah Framed Genuine Specimen
Taxidermy is having a moment, but it never really left, did it. The cabinet of curiosities aesthetic has been a cornerstone of gothic and dark aesthetic spaces for centuries, and a framed jewel beetle is exactly the kind of thing that makes a room feel like it belongs to someone interesting.
The Chrysochroa rajah is one of the most visually arresting insects on the planet. That iridescent emerald green elytra, the hardened wing casings, shifts and shimmers in changing light the way no synthetic material ever quite manages. It sits in that perfect intersection of natural history, memento mori, and the macabre beauty that runs through everything from Victorian mourning jewellery to the entomology scenes scattered through horror iconography. Sourced and framed by Bits & Bugs, specialists in genuine insect specimens presented for display.
Each specimen is real, ethically sourced, and individually framed. Slight natural variation between specimens. Ready to hang.
