A5B "Hello McFly!" Display! This little guy has his wings spread and is ready to go. These guys have blue bottoms but it is hard to see unless you are in the right light.

These are all natural specimens and may have a leg or part of an antenna missing, I do my best to make sure they are very good but sometimes one gets by me, any damage is very slight and will not effect the looks of the specimen. See my feedback for confirmation. I rarely have a problem but even with good packaging it is impossible for us to Guarantee that specimens will arrive totally intact.
