Indian Oakleaf (Kallima inachus) Wing Study

This Indian Oakleaf (Kallima inachus) frame, has been hand set in our Cheshire based studio and mounted in a museum quality deep box frame with fixtures for easy wall hanging. Generally butterflies use the bottom (or ventral) side of their wings for camouflage and the top (dorsal) side to advertise themselves to potential mates. Many butterflies rest with their wings closed above their bodies, exposing the dull, mottled patterns that disrupt their outline and help conceal them from predators. Then, when the coast is clear, they are able to open and flap their wings, displaying their hidden showy colours to attract potential mates. The frame is made from premium quality, satin finished acrylic, with a museum grade 99% UV blocking conservation glass aperture. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM acid free card stock which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self standing or mounted using the invisible wall hanging bracket. Dimensions: 31 x 22 x 6cm Also included with your order Every frame comes with a loyalty sticker.
