This piece features a real Hackberry Emperor butterfly carefully preserved inside a botanical resin arch surrounded by delicate dried flowers.
Hackberry Emperors are fascinating butterflies that live fast, unpredictable lives in parks and woodlands. Unlike many butterflies, they rarely visit flowers and instead feed on tree sap, rotting fruit, and minerals from the environment. Their caterpillars rely exclusively on leaves from Celtis (hackberry) trees, making them closely tied to the ecosystems where those trees grow.
Adult Hackberry Emperors only live 6–14 days, so this piece preserves a brief and beautiful moment of nature.
Each botanical element is carefully arranged to create a miniature wildflower scene that highlights the butterfly’s natural colors and markings.
