Yellow Butterfly Papilio Thaos Swallowtail Genuine Framed Specimen

The King Swallowtail. The name alone earns respect, and the wingspan backs it up.

Papilio thoas is one of the largest butterflies in the Americas, and that saturated golden yellow against black is the kind of colour combination that shows up on patches, album covers, and tattoos for good reason. It hits. Bits & Bugs source these ethically from Peru and frame them in recycled-material shadow boxes, so the whole thing sits cleanly in the gothic and alternative space where natural history and dark collecting overlap. If you've ever been into entomology, horror cabinets of curiosity, or just things that look like they belong in a Victorian naturalist's study crossed with a black metal record collection, this is for you.

Species: Papilio thoas. Origin: Peru. Frame: 16.5cm x 16.5cm x 5cm deep, made from recycled materials. Genuine ethically sourced specimen, not a replica.
