Green Metalwing

(Neurobasis chinensis)

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 Green Metalwing specimen.

Carefully preserved and mounted by hand, each specimen is displayed between clear panels that create a modern, weightless presentation.

The Green Metalwing is especially striking for its metallic wings, which shift between rich green, teal, and blue depending on the light and viewing angle. Its slender body and delicate wing structure give it an entirely different presence from the larger butterfly specimens.

Mounting these exceptionally fragile specimens requires careful handling and patience, making each finished piece especially unique.

Beyond its natural beauty, the dragonfly has also become meaningful to many people as a symbol of remembrance and transformation. For some, seeing a dragonfly brings an immediate connection to someone deeply missed, giving this piece significance beyond the specimen itself.

The compact 5x5 frame keeps the presentation simple and intimate while allowing the metallic wings to remain the focus.

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

Specimen

Green Metalwing

(Neurobasis chinensis)

The Green Metalwing is an Asian species of damselfly known for its extraordinary metallic wings.

Depending on the light, its wings can appear deep emerald green, teal, blue, or nearly black, creating an intense iridescent effect that photographs can struggle to fully capture.

Its delicate structure, slender body, and shifting metallic coloration make Neurobasis chinensis an especially unusual and beautiful preserved specimen.

Although technically a damselfly, it belongs to the same order as dragonflies and is commonly grouped with them in natural-history collections.
