Swallowtail Butterfly Duo
This exquisite 9x9 shadow box features a striking duo of butterflies: the Red Helen (Papilio helenus) and the Banded Swallowtail (Papilio garamas). Both butterflies are beautifully displayed against a linen background, allowing their vibrant colors and intricate details to take center stage. Set in a sleek, modern white frame, this piece is a perfect blend of nature's beauty and refined design.
Fun Facts:
Known for its distinctive black and yellow banded wings, the Banded Swallowtail butterfly is often admired for its elegant, swallowtail-shaped hindwings, which give it a graceful and unique appearance. The Banded Swallowtail’s caterpillars feed primarily on plants in the laurel family, and the adults are strong fliers, often seen gliding and fluttering around flowers. Despite its beauty, the Banded Swallowtail is also known for its rapid flight patterns, making it a bit elusive to catch! The Red Helen is a fast flier, often seen in forested areas where it flutters from flower to flower in search of nectar. Its larvae feed on plants in the citrus family, and as adults, they are known to be attracted to a variety of flowers, including lantanas and thistles. This butterfly’s beauty and swift flight make it a fascinating species to observe.
