    Description

    This is a custom made item featuring a male
    Monarch
    (below),
    Danaus plexippus
    and a male
    Viceroy
    (above)
    ,
    Limenitis archippus
    .  The Monarch is famed for its long migrations into Mexico each year.  The Viceroy mimics the colors and pattern of the Monarch as a measure to avoid being eaten since the Monarch is very distasteful to predators.  On the back side is a female
    Indian Monarch
    ,
    Danaus genutia
    which ranges across all of Indo-China and the south Pacific including Australia.  It too has an unpleasant taste to predators.  The butterflies are perfect and are mounted on real driftwood.  Each dome is a "one of a kind" due to differences in the driftwood and variation in the butterflies.  The dome is mounted on a 6 inch wide walnut base. The dome itself is 4.5 inches wide and 6 inches high.  Each dome comes with a colored brochure describing the natural history of the individual butterflies.
