Framed Real Insect Art 10.5 X 10.5 Blue Morpho With Key

✨DETAILS✨🔽
★ This is a REAL Morpho Alexandrovna Butterfly ("Blue Morpho") framed under glass. This is my own original take on the traditional mounted butterfly, I remove the butterfly's body and replace it with with a beautiful antique style skeleton key with fleur de lis detailing. The butterfly is secured under glass in a shadowbox measuring approximately 1 ft x 1ft. The artwork is mounted on a glittering gold paper background with a white mat border. You may choose a black or white frame. You may also choose between regular glass or an upgrade to museum grade UV glass. Each frame will arrive with a description card on the species of butterfly!

The Morpho Alexandrovna Butterfly (also known as the "Blue Morpho") is a morpho species found in the amazon rainforest in countries such as Peru & Brazil. The wings are an intense iridescent metallic blue in color that changes depending on how the light hits them. The color in the butterfly's wings is caused by the diffraction of the light from millions of tiny scales on its wings. It uses this to frighten away predators, by flashing its wings rapidly.

*NOTE* No Butterflies are harmed in the making of my jewelry! All butterflies are raised on butterfly farms and sanctuaries and allowed to live their full lifespan, which averages about 1 month, and then collected and sold so that their beauty can live on! Butterfly Farming actually helps to preserve rain forests and also assures the survival of natural butterfly habitats. Native people are encouraged to grow plants and raise insects opposed to clearing land for cash crops. I am a member of and donate to the Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the Rainforest and the many species that live within it, including the Blue Morpho Butterfly!
