This entomological box combines two of nature's most remarkable jewels, creating an exceptional chromatic ensemble.

On one side, the Cithaerias aurorina fascinates with the absolute transparency of its wings, simply enhanced by a delicate aurora pink gradient on the lower wings. On the other, the Graphium weiskei (Weiske's swallowtail) displays a unique color palette in the world of lepidoptera, harmoniously blending turquoise green, purplish pink, and white patterns on a deep black background.

Fixed with scientific precision on a white background, these two specimens beautifully capture the light and highlight the diversity of tropical adornments. A modern, elegant, and highly aesthetic piece to enrich your cabinet of curiosities.
