Our larger framed butterfly collections are
very impressive with their colorful assortments
of totally different butterfly species. Each framed
butterfly has its common and/or scientific names
listed. This makes the newest addition to your butterfly
collection not only a beautiful attraction, but also
an educational tool. Some of the real butterflies
in rectangular frames include: Red Helen, Orange
Albatross, Lemon Migrant, 5-bar Swordtail, and many
more. In this assorted collection there are between
9 and 19 different butterflies
to each frame. Frames vary
from double glass, to shadow boxes with standard
black frames and can be placed on top desks,
bookshelves or on any flat surface in addition to
using them as wall hangings. Having
real butterflies in rectangular frames will be a
real hit in your home
or your office and a useful conversation piece for
when you invite guests over. Butterflies make the
perfect gift for anyone who appreciates the nature!
The Great Egg fly, shown here along with 14 other
brilliantly assorted butterflies, has velvet-black
wings with iridescent purple edged patches of white.
This vivid butterfly is commonly found in the Southern
Hemisphere in Malaysia and Australia. Known for
their territorial behavior, male Great Egg flies
will chase away intruders that infringe on their
domain, while the female egg flies are creatures
of habit and often spend their entire lives on
the same flower. |

Monarchs (Danaus plexippus) are the long-distance
champions when it comes to butterfly migrations,
performing the longest migration of any known
insect in the known world. Every fall Monarchs,
sometimes reaching up to 250 million or more,
empty out of the United States, Southern
Canada, and East of the Rocky Mountains and
journey South to their overwintering roosts
in the mountain fir forests of West Mexico
City. Newly hatched adults will also make
the same trek North. Monarchs, from the Northern
edge of their summer range in Canada, may
migrate in swarms for up to 3,000 miles just
to reach their winter roosts. Monarchs are
strong fliers, and can, believe it or not,
fly up to 20 MPH and often at altitudes of
over 10,000 feet. With the help of Monarch
tags researchers have empirical proof that
they can travel at least 80 miles in a day.
Monarchs have crossed the Pacific Ocean into
Australia and New Zealand and have even established
butterfly populations in Hawaii and other
Pacific Islands that are non-migratory because
the ideal weather and environmental conditions.
Like nearly all insects, butterflies are strong and resilient, but they are prone
to all of the limitations that accompany their small body size. Compared to migratory
birds, migratory butterflies are much slower, they have an inferior aerodynamic
design, plus poor vision, and a very limited capacity to learn. Nevertheless,
each year millions of butterflies somehow manage to make their way across vast
distances, and even Continents! |
