{"product_id":"peacock-butterfly-taxidermy-box-indonesia","title":"Papilio blumei Peacock Swallowtail Butterfly Specimen in Shadow Box, Sulawesi Indonesia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are no green pigments in these wings. The brilliant emerald and turquoise bands that cut across the velvet-black surface of \u003cem\u003ePapilio blumei\u003c\/em\u003e are entirely structural — produced by microscopic concave scales that refract light like organic prisms, shifting in intensity as the angle changes. It is one of nature's more extraordinary tricks, and it makes the Peacock Swallowtail one of the most visually arresting butterfly specimens in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to the tropical rainforests of Sulawesi, Indonesia, this specimen is professionally pinned and mounted in a textbook A1 museum position inside a contemporary black timber shadow box with a clean white archival mat board. The specimen is elevated slightly off the backing to cast a natural depth shadow — a considered presentation that suits the piece's drama. A perfect addition to a cabinet of curiosities, a dark academia shelf, or a wall grouping of natural history objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePapilio blumei\u003c\/em\u003e (Peacock Swallowtail \/ Green Banded Peacock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sulawesi, Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional A1 museum pin mount, 3D shadow box presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black timber shadow box, white archival mat board, glass-fronted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.5 cm wide × 27.5 cm tall × 3 cm deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 568 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent.
