MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON! Approved by USFWS (Fish and Wildlife) Legally obtained. This stunning transparent and pink winged butterfly in resin features the Cithaerias pireta, commonly known as the Blushing Phantom or Pink-Tipped Glasswing Satyr which is found throughout Mexico and parts of South America. This butterfly can tilt its body to raise the eyespots near the wing tips to create a striking pattern to mimic the head of a small snake, helping confuse potential predators. Preserved in clear resin, this specimen makes a beautiful display piece for insect collectors, curiosity cabinets, or anyone drawn to delicate and unusual natural specimens. Add a nice finishing touch to your preserved butterfly with an optional display stand. Made of clear acrylic, this stand really enhances the piece, giving it a nice viewing angle. Lucite block measures approximately 3 inches square. As with all real specimen in resin, size, coloration and positioning of butterfly within the lucite can vary slightly.
