Discover the elegant beauty of Pachliopta aristolochiae - the striking Common Rose butterfly from Southeast Asia. This framed swallowtail display showcases the butterfly's distinctive red and black wing pattern beautifully preserved and mounted under glass in a compact wall-hanging frame, bringing tropical elegance to any space.
The Common Rose butterfly displays aposematic colouration - bright warning colours that advertise toxicity to predators. The bold red spots on velvety black wings signal that this butterfly is unpalatable, having sequestered toxins from Aristolochia plants during its caterpillar stage. This striking pattern makes it both beautiful and biologically fascinating.
The compact 5 × 5 inch frame (120 × 120mm) fits beautifully on desks, bookshelves, bedside tables, or small wall spaces where larger frames won't fit. This framed swallowtail butterfly brings tropical elegance to offices, studies, bedrooms, bathrooms, or any intimate space that needs a touch of natural beauty.
Your framed Common Rose arrives gift-boxed and ready to display or present. The frame measures 5 × 5 inches (120 × 120mm) and contains one Pachliopta aristolochiae butterfly professionally mounted under glass. Each display is handmade with care, ensuring quality presentation. Hanging hardware included for wall mounting, or display freestanding on any flat surface.
Common Rose butterflies are found across tropical Asia, from India to Indonesia. They're members of the swallowtail family (Papilionidae) and are closely related to birdwing butterflies. The caterpillars feed exclusively on Aristolochia vines, accumulating toxic compounds that make both caterpillars and adult butterflies unpalatable to predators - a defence strategy that has proven highly successful.
This display offers excellent educational value for teaching about warning colouration (aposematism), chemical defence in insects, plant-insect relationships, mimicry complexes (other butterflies mimic the Common Rose's pattern), and tropical butterfly diversity. Perfect for schools, nature centres, or anyone interested in evolutionary biology.
Each frame is 100% handmade and unique. Natural variations in wing patterns, spot size, and colouration make every display one-of-a-kind. This isn't mass-produced décor - it's a genuine natural history specimen that connects you to the biodiversity of Southeast Asian tropical forests.
All our Common Rose specimens are ethically sourced from sustainable collecting programmes. We work with responsible collectors who ensure wild populations remain healthy and habitats are protected.
Butterflies have symbolized transformation, hope, and natural beauty across cultures for millennia. The Common Rose, with its bold red and black pattern, adds drama and elegance to this symbolism. This display brings that meaning into your home, creating a focal point that's both aesthetically striking and emotionally resonant.
Supplied gift-boxed and beautifully presented, this framed butterfly makes an exceptional gift for birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, or any occasion. The compact size and affordable price make it perfect for thoughtful gift-giving, while the quality and uniqueness ensure it will be treasured for years to come.
We stand behind the quality and beauty of every frame we create. If your Common Rose display doesn't bring you joy, we'll make it right. Our commitment is to deliver natural history art that exceeds expectations and becomes a cherished part of your home.
Add tropical elegance to your space. Order your framed Common Rose butterfly today and own a beautiful piece of natural history that combines striking colours, fascinating biology, and timeless appeal in a perfect compact display.
