This piece features a preserved Blue Lanternfly (Pyrops gunjii), carefully mounted against a deep black velvet background and framed with hand-placed dried botanicals in warm yellow, ivory, and neutral tones.
 
Lanternflies are known for their striking wing coloration and distinctive elongated head structures. Pyrops gunjii is particularly sought after for its rich teal and blue wing tones contrasted by golden markings, creating a dramatic, almost luminous appearance against dark backgrounds.
 
Each botanical element was individually selected and arranged by hand to complement the specimen’s coloration and movement without distracting from it, resulting in a balanced composition that feels both natural and curated. This is a one-of-a-kind natural history art piece intended for long-term display.
