U.S. sales only.  I do NOT ship any specimens outside the United States.  Please do not ask!
This insect is mounted in a Riker frame, which is black fiberboard with a glass front, and a cotton-like material holding the specimen in place. It can easily be opened to remove the specimen for alternate mounting.
It might surprise you to learn that butterfly collecting actually helps the Earth's ecology since it allows local people to raise butterflies to support their families, giving them an incentive to maintain the rainforests and jungles! Butterflies live only a short time, and mate immediately after emerging from their chrysalis. The female lays eggs as quickly as possible on the plant preferred by the species--if those plants are kept available!
My insects are imported under permit issued by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Please be aware that this permit is required to bring insects into the United States, including butterflies and moths. Not all foreign sellers will tell you this.
Quality Classifications:
A1: Absolutely perfect--NO marks at all!  (I almost never give this grade)
A1/A-: Minor damage--antennae broken or missing; minor rubs, etc.
A-: Major damage--wing tears, chips, major rubs, etc.
B: Representative of species, but very damaged.

I'll be happy to combine shipping charges on items purchased within 7 days, if requested. Payment is due within 10 days.
Please note that since I live in a semi-rural area, I generally ship twice each week. I'm not a big corporation, so please understand that occasionally I take vacations, get sick, have car trouble, or other problems of daily life. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING BY A PARTICULAR DATE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BEFORE BIDDING! I will advise you of any additional charges for the fastest way to ship if I can meet your schedule. Thanks!
S
hipping charges are calculated for U.S. destinations only. If international, INCLUDING Canada, please email for charges before bidding! Do not attempt to calculate these charges--this will only delay your shipment; your item will not be shipped until the entire payment is paid in full, including international postage and handling charges. Butterflies, moths, and other insects will NOT be shipped outside the U.S. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility; please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
A WORD ABOUT FEEDBACK: Professional sellers like myself value feedbacks. If you have a problem, PLEASE let me know before leaving negative or neutral feedback. Give me a chance to solve the problem! If it's something I've done, or if the item doesn't arrive in the the condition you expected, I will take care of it.
