Palawan Birdwing

Regular price $220.00

The Troganoptera trojana butterfly, a rare and stunning creature found exclusively on the island of Palawan in the Philippines, is a member of the Papilionidae family. With males boasting velvety black wings adorned with vibrant green bands, and females showcasing larger frames with brown wings accented by cream and green, these butterflies are a sight to behold. Their caterpillars feed on Aristolochia plants, acquiring chemical defenses, while adult butterflies visit blooming flowers in the forest for nourishing nectar. Their graceful, gliding flight through the treetops makes them a true wonder to observe. Encased in a sleek 9”x9” frame, nature truly becomes art.

*Each of my framed shadow boxes are crafted for lasting beauty and protection. They feature custom-cut, premium-grade(acid-free) double matting, an acid-free backing, and UV-resistant glass.
