The tiger butterfly has been showing up in art, mythology, and symbolism across Asia for a very long time. There's something about those deep amber wings edged in black and white that lodges itself in the imagination, which is probably why it keeps appearing on gothic and alternative fashion alongside skulls and moths.This resin-encased specimen from Our Earth Life is the real thing, not a print, not a casting. It's a preserved Common Tiger butterfly set in high-quality clear resin, the kind of object that earns its place on a dark aesthetic shelf or desk without needing any explanation. Natural history and the macabre have always overlapped, and pieces like this sit right at that intersection.Real preserved butterfly specimen in clear resin. Supplied by Our Earth Life.
