BUTTERFLY/MOTH/MOUNTED Tailless FEMALE PAPILIO MEMNON MEMNON

Description: BUTTERFLY/MOTH/MOUNTED Tailless FEMALE PAPILIO MEMNON MEMNON BUTTERFLY/MOTH/MOUNTED Tailless FEMALE PAPILIO MEMNON MEMNON Description Species: Papilio memnon memnon, tailless form (female) Family: Papilionidae Location: Indonesia Approximate Wingspan: 4 5/8" Frame Size: 6" x 8" Quality: A1/A- U.S. sales only. I do NOT ship any specimens outside the United States. Please do not ask! This insect is mounted in a Riker frame, which is black fiberboard with a glass front, and a cotton-like material holding the specimen in place. It can easily be opened to remove the specimen for alternate mounting. It might surprise you to learn that butterfly collecting actually helps the Earth's ecology since it allows local people to raise butterflies to support their families, giving them an incentive to maintain the rainforests and jungles! Butterflies live only a short time, and mate immediately after emerging from their chrysalis. The female lays eggs as quickly as possible on the plant preferred by the species--if those plants are kept available! My insects are imported under permit issued by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Please be aware that this permit is required to bring insects into the United States, including butterflies and moths. Not all foreign sellers will tell you this. Quality Classifications: A1: Absolutely perfect--NO marks at all! (I almost never give this grade) A1/A-: Minor damage--antennae broken or missing; minor rubs, etc. A-: Major damage--wing tears, chips, major rubs, etc. B: Representative of species, but very damaged.

I generally ship twice each week. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING BY A CERTAIN DATE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW BEFORE BIDDING! I'll try to meet your deadline, and advise you of Priority Mail surcharges. Shipping charges are calculated for U.S. destinations only. International shipping is very expensive--please ask for shipping charges BEFORE bidding if you do not have a U.S. address! Butterflies, moths, and other insects will NOT be shipped outside the U.S. due to Federal laws. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility; please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
