Anteos menippe, Great Orange Tip Butterfly, Orange-Tipped Angled-Sulphur Butterfly Earrings

These butterfly earrings are made with real repurposed butterfly wings of the species Anteos menippe, the great orange tip or orange-tipped angled-sulphur. They are made with the hindwings of this butterfly and are a lemony yellow color with a little plush pink swish spot marking. Set on surgical steel ear wires and accented with yellow seaglass beads.   The one wing has a slight bend up, so the price has been reduced to reflect this tiny flaw

This specimen has been purchased from a licensed supplier in Ontario Canada.

Handcrafted by me in my London Ontario Canada studio. Though my pieces are watertight, they are not 100% waterproof so care should be taken to not allow these to get wet.

Butterflies & Insects used in my pieces have been sustainably raised and bred on insect farms globally and play an important role in Conservation programs
