African Giant Swallowtail

The African Giant Swallowtail is among Africa’s largest butterflies, admired for its broad wingspan and dramatic appearance. Its deep brown to black wings are accented with soft cream or pale yellow and orange markings and subtle iridescent tones that shimmer in the light. This majestic butterfly commands attention—not with bright colors, but with a bold, elegant presence that reflects the quiet strength and rich biodiversity of the forests it calls home. Sourced responsibly through ethical breeding programs, this specimen supports conservation efforts in its natural habitat.

Classified as A quality, this African Giant Swallowtail may have minor imperfections that can only be seen upon close inspection with the naked eye. Although it appears nearly flawless, the small details show its natural life and growth.

Carefully mounted by hand in a black wooden frame with clear, premium glass, the butterfly is presented with simplicity and respect. The frame measures 25 x 25 cm, with a depth of 4 cm, weighing about 1 kg. A white passe-partout frames the specimen, along with a printed label showing its scientific name and origin. The frame is ready to hang with build-in brackets including a stand for tabletop or shelf display.
