Papilio elwesi

Papilio elwesi, the "Elwes' Swallowtail", is an exceptional Chinese specimen for the swallowtail collector. Featuring elongated, lobed wings, and plentiful eyes of vibrant red against charcoal wings. Preserved by Chicago-based group The Butterfly Company... It's looking for its next home, whether within a fancy frame or pinned in a lush terrarium scene — could yours be the one? Size: ~4.7" Please note: Each creature is fragile and should be handled delicately. Natural variations in size, color, etc. may occur in insects and no two are fully alike. They're sold as-is in their "flying" position; they're not malleable, and are not mounted or prepared otherwise in any form of display situation.
