GIANT SWORDTAIL BUTTERFLY - GRAPHIUM ANDROCLES

THE SCIENCE:

The Giant Swordtail, Graphium androcles, has a wingspan that ranges between 3.1 and 4.7 inches. Females are relatively larger than males. The lower half of each forewing is white with three dark brown, diagonal parallel stripes, while the upper half of each is dark brown and crossed with two white stripes. The hindwings are white, with dark brown markings along the lower margins, and each one terminates in a long “swordtail.”

THE STORY:

This is a particularly striking species of butterfly in size, form, and coloration. Our all-natural, intact specimens (no fake parts here!) are all of first-rate quality, delicately prepared, mounted, and framed with double-glass glazing in our very own fabrication studio in Upstate New York. We model our frames from solid fine ashwood, and they’re available in both a matte-black, and a natural finish.

Our framed insects are made-to-order. Please allow up to two weeks for your order to be completed. If you need your order sooner than this, please contact us at 212-343-1114 x401 or fabrication@theevolutionstore.com and we will do our best to accommodate you!
