Long Tailed Skipper Butterfly

$32.99

Type: Collectibles:Animals:Insects & Butterflies:Entomology, Real Insects
Q37a This is a Long Tailed skipper moth that is a beautiful Specimen surrounded by preserved fern and flower!   Great addition to any collection!  

Framed Display Approx. Dimensions: 5 x 5 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 are 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! 


species:  Urbanus Proteus
The long-tailed skipper is a spread-winged skipper butterfly found throughout tropical and subtropical South America, south to Argentina and north into the Eastern United States and southern Ontario. It cannot live in areas with prolonged frost.


When purchasing this item you are agreeing to the following: No claims for small broken parts such as antennae or a detached wing or leg, antennae are so fragile that they cannot be guaranteed in shipping.  Wings and other small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part when purchasing items like these.  If there is a major problem I will take care of the matter.  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 although I have had very few problems to date.
