12 Butterflies from Pacific Islands H66cm
€3,720.0012 magnificent bird-winged butterflies in a capsule globe.
The most common bird-winged butterfly - Ornithoptera Priamus - is actually not so common, because it is only found in a few small islands in the Pacific: Papua New Guinea, Southern Moluccas, Solomon Islands...
Islands where their forests diminish year after year under the influence of men.
This is why this protected species will be delivered with a CITES.
Only the males have these bright colors, the females are even larger, but brown in color.
They are so remarkable that our specimens now come from a farm in Indonesia.
