These framed butterflies of the Amazon belong to the White, sulfur and yellow butterfly family of Pieridaes.
It is this sub-family that is responsible for the name "butter-flies" because of their cream color.
The Pieridae species in this frame are: Phoebis trite, Aphrissa statira, Phoebis argante, Phoebis rurina, Phoebis philea
They come in in a 4.25" x 12.25", painted yellow, double pane glass wood frame, with glass panel on front and back, and sealed with hot silicone along the inside grooves of the wood frame.
*All frames are hand crafted and the quality and characteristics are much better then the common, one-sided Riker Mounts. One of the great benefits of double pane glass framing is that you can see the front and back sides of the mounted butterflies. In most cases involving Neotropical butterflies the front and back sides of the wings are distinctly different. The back many times displays a species distinct form of self defense.*
Every butterfly from Ben the Butterfly Guy comes from butterfly farms throughout the Eastern region of Peru. All butterflies here are classified non-endangered by the international CITES listings as reviewed by both the Ministry of Agriculture from Peru and U.S. Fish and Wildlife in the States. Copies of documentation and clearance are available upon request for your assurance and peace of mind.
