In this display we have a beautiful taxidermy  Hypolimnas dexithea Butterfly!  It is surrounded by natural flora and real natural pieces including a real ladybug and snail as well as real roses, attached to a moss covered wooden base. Resting on the base is a removable glass dome, to keep your specimen safe from dust and wear. The entire display measures approximately 8 1/2" x 6" and would be an eye catching addition to any collection!
Species:  Hypolimnas dexithea
Hypolimnas dexithea is a species of Hypolimnas butterfly endemic to Madagascar. The species was described in 1863 by William Chapman Hewitson from a specimen collected by J. Caldwell from Antananarivo in Madagascar. It later became one of the species targeted by collectors on account of its size and colour.
Butterflies are loved by all and are one of our very favorite insects.  They do not sting or bite which makes them even more popular!     This butterfly has been showcased so it can be enjoyed for years to come.  These make wonderful gifts and are so beautiful most anyone receiving would be thrilled to have one!
NOTE:  If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base.  Care has to be taken when opening or removing the dome so not to damage the display or specimen.
If you are purchasing one of my Victorian displays and are familiar with Antique Victorian displays, you are aware of that they have usually fallen into disarray and disintegrated to the point that they no longer show well. My displays mimic the antique look without everything being washed out and tattered due to extreme age. I keep my displays as economical as possible enabling me to make them a lot more affordable than the true antiques. Every display shows well and is sure to be noticed and commented on! All my displays are hand crafted using only the highest quality of items available and as many natural pieces as possible. Much time and thought are invested into each ONE OF A KIND DISPLAY (unless otherwise noted) as to bring life to the natural beauty of each animal so they may be enjoyed for years to come. Each display is decorated specifically to enhance the beauty of the animal/insect showcased as well as show each in a natural setting. These displays will fascinate as well as inspire wonder in all who view!
