Is it Real? Is it Cruel?
Yes, this is a real butterfly — and no, none was harmed to make it beautiful. Every specimen is ethically and sustainably sourced, collected only after its natural lifespan from butterfly farms and conservation programs that fund the protection of wild habitats. What you hold is the dignified afterlife of a creature that lived its full span — preserved, not taken.
