A1–A- QUALITY NOTICE
This listing includes specimens within the A1 to A- quality range.
Your order may contain A1 and/or A- specimens.
A1 quality means the butterfly is generally well-preserved and visually attractive for display. However, real natural specimens should not be expected to be absolutely flawless.
Minor imperfections may include:
- Slight wing-edge wear
- Small areas of scale loss
- Minor wing asymmetry
- Small marks or natural color differences
- Minor imperfections to antennae, legs, tails or body
These characteristics are normal within the stated A1–A- quality range.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTICE
Real dried butterflies are extremely delicate, especially the antennae, tail areas, legs and abdomen.
We will pack every order carefully to minimize movement and reduce the chance of damage during transportation.
However, due to the fragile nature of real butterfly specimens, antennae, tail sections or small body parts may occasionally loosen or detach during shipping.
Because these specimens are offered at a low wholesale-style price, minor shipping damage involving the antennae, tails or abdomen is not covered for compensation or refund.
Please purchase only after understanding and accepting this condition.
We will still do our best to pack every specimen securely.
NATURAL SPECIMEN VARIATION
Because these are genuine natural butterflies, each specimen is unique.
Slight differences may occur in:
- Blue-purple color intensity
- Wing shape
- Antenna position
The exact specimens received may vary slightly from those shown in the photos.
CARE & HANDLING
- Handle gently with clean tweezers
- Avoid touching or pressing the wings
- Keep away from moisture and high humidity
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
- Store in a sealed frame or specimen box
- Open shipping packaging carefully
