Wallace's Golden Birdwing Pair

This frame, demonstrating sexual dimorphism in the Wallaces Golden Birdwing (Ornithoptera croesus), has been hand set in our Cheshire based studio and mounted in a museum quality deep box frame with fixtures for easy wall hanging.

Sexual dimorphism is the term given to any differences in characteristics exhibited between males and females of a species. This may be expressed through differences in morphology (such as size, colour, ornamentation), physiology, cognition or behaviour. These differences are the result of different selection pressures on males and females.

The frame is 21 x 30 x 6 cm and made from premium quality acrylic. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM card stock background which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self standing or mounted using the invisible wall bracket.

All of our specimens are ethically sourced from conservation projects around the world and help to support local communities and protect natural habitats.

Included with all of our insects is a copy of our ethos, which shows how your investment in our brand is directly helping to protect the environment against habitat destruction and the increasing loss of biodiversity across the globe. To learn more go to Our Ethos page.
