WTUAWB Green-Banded Queen Framed Butterfly Specimen — 6.7" Taxidermy Shadow Box, Hand-Mounted Plexiglass Display

This is a handcrafted shadow-box featuring a real, naturally preserved Green-Banded Queen butterfly mounted in a 6.7" x 6.7" display—ready to hang or stand as moody, authentic decor.

Carefully prepared from an insect found after natural death, this framed butterfly specimen brings organic texture and authentic patterning to gothic, dark-academia, witchy, or curiosity-style interiors. The compact MDF frame with clear plexiglass keeps the delicate wings protected while showing off the iridescent green banding and intricate venation of the Green-Banded Queen. Each piece is assembled by hand and inspected so every display arrives clean, dry, and ready for a focal shelf, gallery wall, altar, or cabinet of curiosities.

What makes this specimen different from printed or faux butterfly art?

This is a genuine preserved insect, not a replica or a printed image. Because the butterfly was arranged by hand after natural death, the display preserves real scale, texture, and subtle color shifts you won’t get from synthetic reproductions.

• Real taxidermy specimen—authentic wing patterns and veins.
• Hand-mounted to maintain natural posture and color.
• Clear plexiglass and MDF frame for visible, protected presentation.

How large is the frame and how can I display it?

The shadow box measures roughly 6.7 inches square and 1.2 inches deep, a size that fits small shelves, desk corners, or mixed gallery walls. The lightweight MDF construction makes it simple to hang or prop while keeping the specimen safe behind plexiglass.

• Overall dimensions: 6.7 x 6.7 x 1.2 inches—compact and versatile.
• Lightweight frame for nails, picture hooks, or leaning display.
• Plexiglass front protects wings from dust while retaining clarity.

Will each framed butterfly look the same as pictured?

Because you’re buying a naturally preserved insect, every piece is unique. Expect small variations in wing shape, color tone, and pattern density—these natural distinctions are part of the appeal for collectors and those seeking one-of-a-kind decor.

• Minor differences in hue, size, and pattern are normal and expected.
• Each specimen undergoes inspection for cleanliness and dryness before shipping.
• Photographs represent typical examples but not an exact match guarantee.

How should I care for and position this framed specimen?

Keep the display out of direct sunlight and very humid environments to preserve color and prevent warping. Dust the plexiglass occasionally with a soft cloth and avoid touching the specimen directly to maintain its delicate structure.

• Place away from direct sun and high humidity to reduce fading and moisture damage.
• Dust plexiglass with a microfiber cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Handle the frame only by its edges; do not press on the plexiglass surface.

Who this is for: collectors of entomological or oddity pieces, fans of gothic and dark-academia interiors, altar decorators and witchy-style curators, and anyone seeking a small, original natural accent for a shelf, study, or gallery wall. If you treasure authentic natural objects and appreciate handcrafted presentation, this framed Green-Banded Queen butterfly offers a compact, inspected, and display-ready specimen that blends scientific curiosity with moody home styling.
