How is the price of a butterfly - specimen - based gift determined?

Butterfly Specimen Artworks: The Eternal Freeze-frame of Natural Beauty In our studio, there are exquisite butterfly specimen artworks, which are excellent combinations of nature and art. Butterflies, the lively elves in nature, with their gorgeous wing colors and elegant postures, inspire human's pursuit of beauty. Our artworks freeze their beauty, highlighting the diversity of life and the creativity of nature. Each butterfly has a unique combination of colors and textures. After being made into specimens, they seem to tell the stories of nature.

They are excellent choices whether used for home decoration or art collection, and can arouse people's awe and love for nature, connecting people's emotions with nature. The handmade process fully demonstrates craftsmanship: -

Collection and Screening**: They are collected legally and compliantly from all over the world, and butterflies with complete shapes, bright colors and representative features are carefully selected according to strict standards. 

Preparation for Production**: They are carefully processed, kept fresh and disinfected to protect their shapes and textures.

Wing Spreading and Modeling**: This is a crucial step. With patience and skills, professional tools are used to spread and fix the wings according to the species and shapes of butterflies. The postures and antennae of the butterflies are adjusted to show their lively states. - **Drying and Shaping**: In a specific environment, professional equipment is used to control temperature, humidity and ventilation. They are carefully taken care of for several days to prevent damage. - **Mounting and Decoration

: High-quality materials are selected, and unique designs are made according to the styles and color combinations of butterflies.

Is this butterfly real?

 Yes, this butterfly is genuine. All the butterfly specimens in our store are legally collected from the natural environment by professional staff and have gone through a strict identification process. We have professional entomologists or experienced taxidermists to ensure the authenticity of each butterfly specimen. During the collection process, detailed information such as the butterfly species and collection locations will be recorded. This information can also serve as evidence of the authenticity of the specimens. Meanwhile, the authenticity of the butterfly specimens can also be judged from their details. Genuine butterfly specimens have fine wing textures, natural colors and unique body structures, which are very difficult for artificial imitations to replicate completely. For example, the scales on the wings of a butterfly show a very fine and irregular arrangement under a microscope, which is a characteristic unique to natural butterflies, and it is very difficult for artificial imitations to achieve such a fine level.

Can butterfly - specimen - based gifts with special patterns or texts be customized?

Yes. We offer the service of customizing butterfly specimen gifts with special patterns or texts. We have a professional design team. They can add the patterns and texts you want, such as birthday wishes, wedding anniversary dates, company logos, etc., to the display frame or around the specimen according to your needs. If you want some special artistic elements, like gold powder decoration, hand-painted patterns, etc., you can also communicate with us. However, the complexity of customization will affect the production time. Simple text addition may only take a few days to complete. While for more complex pattern designs, especially those involving elaborate hand-painting or special decorative techniques, it may take several weeks to ensure the ideal effect is achieved. Moreover, during the customization process, we will keep in touch with you so that you can be informed of the production progress in a timely manner and it will also be convenient for you to put forward modification suggestions.

What kind of preservation is required for butterfly specimens?

Temperature:

Butterfly specimens are suitable to be preserved in a relatively stable temperature environment. Generally speaking, the ideal temperature range is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too high, it may lead to the specimens becoming dry and brittle. While if the temperature is too low, the specimens may get damp and form condensation water when the temperature changes, thus damaging the specimens. For example, during the hot summer, if the specimens are placed in a position exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the temperature may exceed 30 degrees Celsius, which will accelerate the aging of the

specimens. Humidity:

The humidity should be maintained at around 40% - 60%. If the humidity is too high, the specimens are prone to mold growth. The mold will grow on the wings and bodies of the butterflies, destroying the appearance and structure of the specimens. If the humidity is too low, the specimens will become dry and the scales on the wings of the butterflies may fall off. For instance, during the humid Meiyu season in the southern areas, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture prevention. And in the dry winter in the northern areas, it may be necessary to appropriately increase the humidity. Light: Specimens should be kept away from direct exposure to strong light, especially the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Ultraviolet rays will cause the colors of the butterfly specimens to fade. Long-term exposure may make the originally colorful butterflies become dull. It is best to place the specimens in a relatively dark place or a place with shading measures, such as using curtains to cover the windows or storing the specimens in cabinets.

Placement:

The specimens should be placed in a stable position to avoid vibration and collision. If they are frequently subjected to vibration, the wings of the butterfly specimens may become loose or fall off, and the body parts may also be damaged. For example, don't place the specimens near doors and windows that are frequently opened and closed or in places where there is large vibration from machinery and equipment. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to avoid the specimens coming into contact with sharp or rough objects to prevent the surface of the specimens from being scratched.
