Neurobasis chinensis florida (Order: ODONATA) – A museum-quality metalwing damselfly specimen in A1 condition, expertly dry-preserved and spread for collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts.
Neurobasis chinensis florida is a subspecies of the celebrated Green Metalwing — one of the most visually spectacular damselflies in Asia and a jewel of the family Calopterygidae. The subspecies florida is distributed across parts of the Philippine archipelago, representing the island-endemic form of this extraordinary species and adding a layer of biogeographic precision that makes it particularly appealing to collectors building a systematic Neurobasis or Philippine Odonata series. Like the nominate subspecies, males display the characteristic intense iridescent emerald-green metallic hindwings that make Neurobasis chinensis so immediately recognisable and coveted — though subtle differences in wing extent and body markings distinguish florida from its congeners. In spread position, the iridescent hindwings are displayed to full effect. A precise and desirable subspecific specimen.
Perfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the extraordinary diversity of the insect world.

One was slightly damaged but both are beautiful specimens. Fast shipping. Definitely recommend seller.
Perfect, thank you! Really appreciate
Beautiful specimens, had a problem with customs in my country but it wasn't that big an issue. Can't wait to buy more eventually!!
Never received my egg! Was very disappointed. Tracking said it was in customs for over 10 days… gave up and got my money back right away!
Beautiful. Thank You, I love it :-)
These are really big! Perfect specimens in perfect condition on arrival. Very pleased!
Really beautiful specimens. Perfectly spread and in perfect condition. Recommend
Fantastic specimens. Perfect and very pleased, thankyou!
This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
These were really great! Lots of variety and will be useful, thank you!
