Kallima inachus chinensis, the Dead Leaf Butterfly is one of the most incredible mimics in nature. When its wings are open it reveals beautiful blue and yellow colors, but when clo sed exactly resembles a leaf. It is popular in art and framed works. Shipped unmounted with wings closed. NOTE: These seem to have the MOST FRAGILE antennae of any butterfly we sell, we cannot guarantee antennae will arrive intact. Each butterfly may vary in size and coloration.
