Discover the legendary Papilio machaon, also known as the Old World swallowtail butterfly. This stunning specimen captivates with its iconic wing patterns and graceful presence, found across the Palearctic and North American regions. What elevates this display to something truly special is the evocative backdrop: a hauntingly beautiful photograph by Beth Watson taken in New Orleans' historic San Roch Cemetery, infusing the piece with artistic depth & local character. Carefully preserved and mounted in a 5"x5" frame, this marriage of natural splendor and atmospheric photography creates a museum-worthy keepsake. Ideal for butterfly collectors, natural history enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to the intersection of nature, artistry, and meaningful storytelling.
