Framed Butterfly Specimen | Blue Hairstreak (5x5)

Blue Hairstreak

(Atlides halesus)

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

Small in scale but exceptionally vivid, the Blue Hairstreak is prized for its rich, iridescent blue coloration and delicate structure.

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 Blue Hairstreak may be small, but it makes an immediate impression. Its wings display an intense, luminous blue that stands out beautifully against darker tones, giving the specimen a jewel-like appearance.

Its compact size, vivid coloration, and more limited availability make it especially appealing to collectors and anyone drawn to the finer details of butterfly specimens.

The 5x5 floating frame creates an intimate display that keeps the focus entirely on the specimen while allowing its brilliant color and delicate shape to stand out in a clean, gallery-inspired presentation.

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