This listing is for one "Common Tiger" Butterfly (Danaus genutia) butterfly, ready for your DIY project. They are a Monarch relative from the Thailand. Just slightly smaller than Monarchs, they have an approx. 3" wingspan. Looks very similar in color and pattern to our North American Monarchs, except these have more white on them.

The first picture here shows the species you will receive. The other three photos are here to describe the available methods of preparation:

Please select whether you'd like the butterfly spread, unmounted/papered, or laminated (wings only). Descriptions follow:
"Spread" means I have opened the wings for you. All you have to do is glue into your project.
"Unmounted/Papered" means I have done nothing. The butterfly is in it's collection envelope, with its wings folded up, as pictured in the example shown in the last photo here. This is an option for people who know how to spread their own specimens. Want to learn how? I sell a Butterfly Spreading Kit in my shop!
"Wings Laminated" means that I have removed the wings from the body and have laminated them separately for you.
Please see the last three photos in this listing for pictorial examples of the above preparations.

To glue into your project (for example, into a shadowbox frame), just use some Elmer's school glue, or whatever you have lying around. No special tools required. Tweezers for handling might make the job easier.
Here's a link to my Butterfly Spreading Kit, if you'd like to learn how to open the specimens yourself; it comes with all the tools you need plus 12 practice butterflies: https://www.etsy.com/listing/120818154/butterfly-mounting-kit-for-beginners?ref=shop_home_active_4&ga_search_query=kit
I also have free online video tutorials: www.insectartonline.com


My butterflies come from farmed sources and are not taken from the wild. I cannot guarantee intact antennae on spread specimens, as they are just too fragile.

Thank You!
