5 inches These butterflies are raised in butterfly farms in the Amazon Jungle. Growing big & beautiful, they live out the entirety of their natural lives. Once their lifecycle is complete, they're collected by the butterfly farmers & placed in frames by local artisans. These frames create a sustainable ecosystem & provide fair income for the artisans & their families. Each frame is labeled by a licensed biologist with the scientific name of the butterflies. All the butterflies used in these frames are all in the common butterfly family & ARE NOT ENDANGERED SPECIES. The frames look best when hung near natural light, but it is recommended to keep them out of direct sunlight and/or moist environments. Butterflies represent transformation & happiness, bring color to life & remind us to enjoy the "dance of life".
