{"product_id":"framed-blue-morpho-butterfly","title":"Blue Morpho Butterfly — Framed Specimen","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis Blue Morpho Butterfly (\u003cem\u003eMorpho peleides\u003c\/em\u003e), native to the rainforests of Central and South America, is one of the most recognizable insects in the world, and once you've seen it in person, it's easy to understand why. That impossible, electric blue isn't pigment at all. It's structure. Microscopic scales on the wing surface bend and scatter light, so the color you're looking at is really light itself, shifting and flashing as it catches the angle. 🦋\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI set this one inside a 6\" x 6\" black frame with a second, ornate frame nested just behind the wings, gold detailing and black damask against that blue. It gives the piece real depth, like the butterfly was caught mid-flight rather than pinned flat against a backdrop. Small in size, but it holds a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis piece feels at home anywhere that could use one unexpected, beautiful thing in it: a gallery wall of curiosities, a moody entryway, a reading nook, a bathroom vanity. It stands beautifully on its own, and it holds its own just as well grouped alongside other framed specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" x 6\" (framed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthical Sourcing Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e This Blue Morpho lived out its full, natural lifespan on a licensed butterfly farm before being ethically preserved. These farms raise butterflies specifically to support and repopulate wild populations, so no butterfly here was taken from the wild, and its life cycle was allowed to run its natural course.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Butterfly Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48553934487746,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/1926\/9058\/files\/FramedMorphoButterflyFenixObscura.jpg?v=1786037750","url":"https:\/\/fenixobscura.com\/products\/framed-blue-morpho-butterfly","provider":"Fenix Obscura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
