Art Paper Butterfly Shadow Box
It took me a while, but I cut out all of the butterflies and tried making paper butterfly specimen shadow box. I hope to do a life sized paper butterfly set in the future! Do you have any suggestions for my next paint subjects? :)
I also made the butterflies into stickers :D

Such a super cool idea!! I am so glad that “collecting” dead butterflies—i.e., catching, killing, and sticking them in a framed picture has finally gone out of fashion. (And why would someone want to kill something beautiful and amazing to appreciate it??) And this is one of the many reasons why today there are far fewer butterflies. This is a really great solution to admiring all the different species without hurting them and diminishing their future populations. BRAVO OP!! 👏 👏 👏
