This is the very cool black and blue butterfly, the Napeocles jucunda, which also happens to be my favorite butterfly of all time. The wings look like a satin black spread along with a wing shape and pattern that resemble 2 penguins back to back getting ready for a duel.

The Real Red and Blue Agrias Amydon Butterfly

Real Framed Agrias Butterfly Gift Mounted in Black Display



This is the intricately patterned Agrias amydon mounted and framed in a Black display. A great gift for a butterfly enthusiast to add to their collection. Also a great piece for home decorating.

The Agrias butterflies are some of the most fascinating butterflies in the whole world, let alone the Amazon. One of their greatest physical characteristics is their vibrant red bands on the front of the wings. Then, it’s almost like having two beautiful butterflies because the backside of the wings are phenomenally patterned. This is one of the most amazing creatures in Amazon, but you really have to be able to see both sides to fully appreciate how awesome this butterfly is.

The stunning butterfly can be found in Colombia, Bolivia and every country in between that runs along the Amazon Basin. All Agrias spend most of their times at the higher levels of the forest canopies. There are many different forms claimed to be true new forms to drive up the value. I do not doubt that this magnificent butterfly is not capable of having many forms, in fact, there have been several documented cases of hybrid Agrias with Preponas. There is even a taxon called the Prepona sarumani which is a Prepona praenestre and Agrias claudina hybrid, WHOA!

Where do butterflies get the name from? The Pieridae Butterfly Family

Sun Yellow Butterfly Frame with 5 Framed Pieridae ButterfliesSun Yellow Butterfly Frame with 5 Framed Pieridae Butterflies Back


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


Sun Yellow Butterfly Frame with 5 Framed Pieridae Butterflies ID's


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.
