LARGE TROPICAL BUTTERFLY DISPLAY CASE
Lepidoptera
South America
This exceptional collection boasts over 100 specimens of almost as many different species of tropical butterflies. Each has been meticulously mounted between the two panes of glass, affording one views not only of the mind-boggling array of colors and patterns present on the upper side of the wings, but also the equally varied appearance of the undersides. Each of the insects is in superb condition and the whole collection is held in a 35 x 24 7/8-inch mahogany frame, handmade in Peru.
