This Green-Celled Cattleheart (Parides childrenae) handcrafted paper butterfly captures the striking elegance of one of the Neotropics’ most recognizable swallowtails. Known for its deep black wings accented with luminous green panels and vivid red markings, this species is admired by collectors and educators alike.
Each butterfly is individually hand-crafted using durable specialty art paper and archival, water-based inks, then carefully shaped to reflect the natural posture and scale of the real specimen. Both dorsal (top) and ventral (underside) wing patterns are accurately represented, offering a true-to-life, museum-style presentation.
Mounted in a crystal-clear 7” × 7” × 1” display box, each piece includes a scientific label noting the species name and geographic origin. No live specimens are used—this artwork celebrates beauty through conservation, preserving the legacy of butterflies without harming nature.
Ideal for collectors, educational displays, gifts, or refined décor.
