This one-of-a-kind framed collection displays 2 of each of 3 butterfly species that mimic the look of dead leaves. The specimens are arranged in a scientific display, with both recto and verso specimens, and are each labeled with their common and scientific names.
All 3 of these featured butterfly species exhibit camouflage mimicry, where their verso side (underside) closely resembles a dead leaf, thus tricking predators into thinking that they are not something edible. Some species of leaf mimic butterflies, like Kallima inachus, can appear with different leaf-like patterns depending on the time of year they emerge from their chrysalis to match what the local foliage looks like.
Only 3 of these LIMITED EDITION frames will be available!
The specimens will come framed. See ruler in photo for approximate size in centimeters.
