Papilio Xuthus Preserved Butterfly Art

Handmade by me.  All my butterflies are ethically sourced from butterfly farms where the butterflies die naturally and are then preserved, pinned, and used in art to honor their too short lifespan (no butterfly is ever harmed for the sake of art).  Decorated with various semi-precious gemstones and yellow wildflowers, this butterfly is held in a 5"x5" shadowbox.
