Papilio Rumanzovia Red Swallowtail Butterfly Framed Specimen

Named after a Russian Empire chancellor, found in the Philippines, and wearing the colours of something that should not exist in nature. The Scarlet Mormon butterfly does not do subtlety, and neither do we.

Papilio rumanzovia belongs to the Papilionidae family, the swallowtails, which are already the heavy hitters of the butterfly world in terms of sheer visual impact. The deep red and black colouring here reads less like a garden insect and more like dark fashion done by evolution. It sits naturally in any gothic or alternative space, next to the dead flowers and the band posters, without looking like you raided a science classroom. This is a specimen that pulls its own weight aesthetically.

Professionally pinned and framed, displayed to show the full upper wing colouration. Ready to hang. Sold as a single specimen.
