W18 #7 This is a large beautiful RARE Dead Leaf Mantis showcased nicely in a "floating" frame. This would be a great addition for any collection or educational piece. This display is approx. 9 x 9 x 2".
This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed and also gives the specimen the illusion of "floating"! This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens or the elasticity strip usually are damaged when you open the display. If the film in your display starts to stick together or gets some bubbles in it you can open the case very slowly so the film releases from both side and close again very slowly and the problem should be resolved. If the film gets touched or is in a hot area this can happen but it is a very easy fix also sometimes in shipping the specimen can shift a little in the display. If this happens please contact us and we will direct you on a quick and easy fix. Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted.
HANGING DISPLAYS: The floating displays all have removable bases so if you would like, just a piece or two of Velcro or command strip will mount these right to your wall without a problem. The case will keep him clean and safe for years to come!

Before purchasing this item you must agree to the following: No claims for small broken parts such as antennae, detached tails, leg, head or broken tarsi. These small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part or two when purchasing items like this. If there is a major problem I will take care of the matter. 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. If you pay for Priority mail your items will be covered by postal insurance which will cover any damage in shipping-First class does not cover damage as it is not insured.
