Papilio Lormieri Ventral Genuine Framed Specimen

Not every butterfly is content being pretty. The Papilio lormieri ventral has clearly read the room.

Where most framed butterfly specimens go dorsal, showing off the flashy topside, the ventral view is the underside, the working parts, the structural truth of the thing. On the Papilio lormieri it's genuinely striking, all geometric patterning and a colour palette that leans more industrial art print than garden centre. It's from the Philippines, it's real, and it belongs on the wall of someone who finds the natural world more interesting when it gets a little strange. The frame itself is made from recycled materials, so there's a small ethical logic to the whole thing too.
