Butterfly wings don’t fade like flowers. Their powdery and hair-like coverings are actually tiny layered scales (about 10,000 per square inch). Many scales aren’t pigmented, rather they bend light similar to making rainbows.

Butterflies are powerful symbols of transformation, new beginnings and ethereal beauty, in addition to being important pollinators. While most bees cover a 5 mile radius, butterflies can fly around 55 miles a day. The cross-pollination they offer plants is important to their genetic health.

Every specimen is naturally deceased and ethically sourced. Supporting butterfly conservation efforts internationally.
