This is a blushing phantom butterfly! They are only found in deeply shaded areas of rainforests. When it’s resting the “false eye” and transparent wing membrane resembles a small snake deterring any predators. We only have one of these delicate beauties at the shop! All of our insects are responsibly and ethically sourced. We believe in honoring and giving them a second life. . . . #nightshade #nightshadeseattle #odditiesandcuriosities #butterfly #butterflyart #eatshopqa #shopsmallseattle #supportlocalseattle #womanownedbusiness #intentionalist #seattlegood #seattlemade #visitseattle #seattlerefined #pnwplants #pnwplantcollectors #seattleplants #seattleplantcommunity #seattleplantpeople #botanicals #botanicalartist #blushingphantom (at Nightshade Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/nightshadeplant/p/CYW1WHBJ9R5/?utm_medium=tumblr
