This unique display features a “skeletonized” Portis blue morpho butterfly specimen, which involves a specialized process of delicately removing the scales on one side of the wings. This process is used by scientists to identify certain species of butterflies so they can look at the wing structure. Our specimen is paired with an archival reprint of a butterfly anatomy and makes an excellent insect cabinet of curiosities addition.
This South American species has long been prized amongst antiquarians, it’s beautiful shiny blue wings have graced the notable royal collections of the Tsar of Russia Peter the Great, the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa and the Queen of Sweden Ulrika Eleonora.
