IO Moth Display

$19.99
by Scenic City Oddities
Type: Collectibles:Animals:Insects & Butterflies:Entomology, Real Insects

Insect Type: moth

 W16bb  This is a IO Moth displayed nicely in a faux wood "floating" frame.  This display is approx. 4 1/2" x 4 x 2" and shows nicely.  This specimen would look good in any collection or great teaching tool for a classroom!  This is nicely showcased in a shadowbox type frame that suspends him in a clear elasticity film so both sides may be viewed unobstructed!  This can be opened but I advise against it as the specimens usually are damaged when you open the display.  Once the display has been opened returns are no longer accepted.  This case will keep him clean and safe for years to come!
