The Old World Swallowtail, Papilio machaon, is a famous and beautiful butterfly found across Europe and Asia. Its wings are bright yellow with strong black lines, and some have small blue and red spots near the back wings. It flies gracefully but strongly and is often seen in meadows, gardens, and sunny hills. This specimen has been ethically sourced from responsible breeding programs that help protect local wildlife and its natural habitats.
Classified as A quality, this Old World Swallowtail may have minor imperfections visible only upon close inspection. While nearly perfect in appearance, these small details reflect its natural life cycle and growth, adding character to the specimen.
Mounted by hand in a sleek black wooden frame with premium clear glass, the butterfly is displayed with care and sophistication. The frame measures 16 x 16 cm, has a depth of 4 cm, and weighs approximately 500 grams. A white passe-partout surrounds the specimen, and a printed label notes its scientific name and geographic origin. The frame is ready to hang with built-in brackets but also includes a stand for tabletop or shelf display.
On the back, a QR code links to the Beautifly® Digital Information Center. There, you can download a detailed Species Information Card and access your official Beautifly® Certificate of Authenticity & Sponsorship. As always, €1 from your purchase goes directly to butterfly habitat conservation projects.
