A great Valentine's day gift for him, this astonishing mounted butterfly is the Smyrna blomfildia. Smyrnas are amazing because of the patterns they have on their butterfly wings. The front is an orange, gold and brown fusion that expands up until the middle of the top wings. The backsides of the wings is what I would display forward, because of the wildly intricate animal print patterns on the back of their wings.
These are fearless butterflies, Smyrna's are cool with humans hanging around. They are usually found in large groups with Smyrna blomfildias and other butterflies near moist rock and dirt. Belonging to the Nymphalidae family, they are closely related to Colubra (dirces), and roost at night.
