Framed Papilio Demoleus (Lime Butterfly)

This beautifully preserved specimen of Papilio demoleus, commonly known as the Lime Butterfly, is presented against a striking crimson velvet backdrop that highlights its intricate black and pale-yellow wing patterns. Its common name is derived from the caterpillars’ preference for feeding on the foliage of citrus hosts, such as lime and lemon trees. Housed in a deep shadow box, the display features a dark, textured frame accented by ornate silver filigree corners, perfectly blending the organic beauty of this "tail-less" swallowtail with a sophisticated, vintage aesthetic.
