Make a bold, graphic statement with the iconic Diaethria clymena, famously known as “Cramer’s 88.” Instantly recognizable for the striking black-and-white “88” pattern on the underside of its wings, this butterfly feels almost designed rather than discovered—nature’s typography at its finest.
Carefully preserved and mounted within a 3.5 x 5 inch glass dome, each specimen rests on a natural cork base that adds warmth and texture to the clean, minimalist display. While the upper wings feature deep, velvety tones with subtle iridescence, it’s the hidden underside that makes this piece truly unforgettable.
Perfect for collectors, art lovers, or anyone drawn to the unusual, this display blends curiosity and sophistication in equal measure. No two are exactly alike—each one is a naturally occurring conversation piece, preserved in time.
