Framed Butterfly Specimen | Sea Green Swallowtail (5x5)

Sea Green Swallowtail

(Papilio lorquinianus)

A preserved butterfly specimen, suspended within a floating frame designed to showcase its natural form from every angle.

Known for its intense turquoise-green coloration against deep black wings, the Sea Green Swallowtail is an especially striking and less commonly encountered specimen.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with subtle natural variations that make every specimen unique.

Description

Bring a piece of natural history into your space with this floating butterfly specimen. Carefully preserved and mounted by hand, each butterfly is displayed between clear panels that create a modern, weightless presentation.

The Sea Green Swallowtail is immediately recognizable for the vivid blue-green coloration that spreads across its dark wings. Depending on the lighting, the color can appear turquoise, teal, emerald, or deep blue, creating a luminous effect that is difficult to fully capture in photographs.

Its unusual coloration and limited availability make it an especially appealing specimen for collectors and anyone drawn to more distinctive butterflies.

The compact 5x5 frame keeps the presentation clean and modern while allowing the butterfly’s extraordinary color to remain the focus.

No two are exactly alike. Variations in coloration, markings, wing shape, and texture are part of what make each specimen distinctive.

Specimen

Sea Green Swallowtail

(Papilio lorquinianus)

The Sea Green Swallowtail is an Indonesian swallowtail found primarily in the Moluccas and parts of western New Guinea.

Its dark wings are covered with vivid turquoise-green coloration that can shift toward blue or emerald depending on the light, creating a rich, almost metallic appearance.

Its restricted range, distinctive coloring, and more limited availability make Papilio lorquinianus an especially unusual and beautiful addition to a preserved butterfly collection.
