Erasmia pulchera Real Moths, Spread for your project or laminated or unmounted, Erasmia pulchera chinensis, Entomology, Lepidoptera

This listing is for one Erasmia pulchera chinensis moth, ready for your project. From Thailand.

These Zygopterid moths are STUNNING!! Beautiful colors almost like a stained glass window! No picture can really do them justice; you won't be disappointed with these. They have about a 6cm wingspan, about 2.5 inches or so.

These are A1 perfect quality Moth

Please select whether you'd like the butterfly spread (WINGS OPEN) or unmounted/papered (WINGS CLOSED).

Descriptions follow:

"Spread or wings open" means I have opened the wings for you. All you have to do is glue into your project.

"Unmounted/Papered" means I have done nothing. The butterfly is in it's collection envelope, with its wings folded up. This is an option for people who know how to spread their own specimens.

"Wings laminated" means that the wings will be heat laminated between a thin layer of plastic. This is just the wings!

Please message me if you have any questions about your order!

Want to learn how? I sell a Butterfly Spreading Kit in my shop!

To glue into your project (for example, into a shadowbox frame), just use some Elmer's school glue, or whatever you have lying around. No special tools required. Tweezers for handling might make the job easier.

Here's a link to my Butterfly Spreading Kit, if you'd like to learn how to open the specimens yourself; it comes with all the tools you need plus 4-8 practice butterflies:

My butterflies come from farmed sources and are not taken from the wild. I cannot guarantee intact antennae on spread specimens, as they are just too fragile. A simple fix to a broken antennae is clear nail polish or super glue.
