Life Cycle of Plain Tiger Butterfly Specimen Paperweight – Complete Metamorphosis in Resin
Available in stock (18)
A Radiant 5-Stage Plain Tiger Butterfly Complete Metamorphosis Study Preserved in Optical Resin
Celebrate the world-famous complete metamorphosis of the Plain Tiger butterfly, also known as the African Monarch (Danaus chrysippus / 金斑蝶), with the Acever Life Cycle of Plain Tiger Butterfly Specimen Paperweight (Model: E1213). Encased inside a substantial, optical-clarity acrylic resin block, this educational specimen details five authentic biological stages arranged in chronological numbered sequence (stages 1–5). The progression reveals real butterfly eggs delicately deposited on host foliage, a vividly striped Danaus caterpillar larva, a smooth jade-hued chrysalis (pupa) with golden accent points, and both adult male (featuring distinctive hindwing scent patches) and female butterflies displaying brilliant tawny-orange wings bordered by deep black margins and bright white spots. Providing an inspiring, hands-on teaching asset for biology classrooms, nature centers, and insect collectors, it eliminates fragile glassware and liquid preservatives entirely.
