Vivid, unexpected, and undeniably striking—the Swallowtail Moth (Alcides orontes) blurs the line between moth and butterfly with its brilliant coloration and graceful wing shape. Flashes of iridescent blue-green shimmer against deep black wings, creating a look that feels almost otherworldly.
Each specimen is ethically sourced and expertly preserved, then carefully mounted in a 6x6 inch black shadow box frame. The smaller size offers a refined, versatile display while still showcasing the moth’s bold, luminous detail—perfect for shelves, desks, or layered gallery walls.
The specimen’s common name, scientific name (Alcides orontes), and collection location are displayed beneath, adding both context and a sense of discovery to the piece.
As with all natural specimens, subtle variations ensure that each frame is completely unique.
