Bring the vibrant majesty of the tropics into your space with this handcrafted collectible paper butterfly inspired by Ornithoptera priamus, one of the world’s most iconic birdwing butterflies.
Ornithoptera priamus is a large, striking species found across the central and southern Moluccas, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, and north-east Australia. Known for its dramatic wingspan and luminous green-blue markings set against deep black wings, this species is celebrated by collectors and naturalists alike.
This handcrafted paper butterfly captures the distinctive beauty of the male Ornithoptera priamus, featuring bold coloration, realistic wing structure, and carefully formed details on both the dorsal (top) and ventral (underside) wing surfaces. Each piece is individually cut, shaped, and assembled by hand to create a lifelike, three-dimensional display.
Mounted in a crystal-clear 7" × 7" × 1" display box, each butterfly includes a scenic habitat image along with the scientific name and geographic origin printed on the label. The result is a museum-style presentation that blends art, science, and conservation awareness.
Designed for collectors, educators, and nature enthusiasts, this paper butterfly offers a lasting way to appreciate the beauty of rare species without impacting wild populations.
