Scientific name: Graphium sarpedon.
Common names: Common Bluebottle or Blue Triangle.
Location: Australia.

Fun Fact: All butterflies see colours like we do, plus they also see ultraviolet and polarized light. While most insect species only have three types of photo receptors, recent studies of the Blue Triangle butterflies have found that they have at least 15 different types of photo receptors. So why did this species evolve 11 more? We're not yet sure.

Fine Print: Insects naturally vary in color, pattern and size, and so the pair you receive may not be completely identical to the pair shown. They also may have minor damage, especially in the case of those that died of natural causes.

Care instructions: Don't leave resin sitting in a hot car with oven temperatures (we're looking at you Florida). To clean, use a glasses cloth or other soft, lint-free cloth to prevent scratching.
