Resin Butterfly Display – Pipevine Swallowtail & Orangetip, Ethically Sourced

This handcrafted resin sculpture captures a striking natural contrast between two real butterflies: a deep, iridescent black Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) and a light, orange-tipped Southern Orangetip (Anthocharis midea). Preserved alongside delicate wildflowers, this piece celebrates the balance of light and dark, transformation and stillness.

Each specimen was ethically sourced and carefully prepared before being permanently preserved in crystal-clear, UV-resistant resin. The result is a timeless, glass-like display that highlights their intricate wing patterns while protecting them for decades to come.
