Szechenyi’s Apollo (Parnassius szechenyii) is a striking butterfly with pale, translucent white wings marked by bold black patterning and subtle red or orange eyespots on the hindwings. Its delicate, glassy appearance is characteristic of high-elevation Apollo butterflies.
Native to Asia, Parnassius szechenyii is found in western China and the eastern Himalayan region, where it inhabits alpine meadows and mountainous terrain at high elevations.
Interesting Fact:
This species is adapted to extreme alpine environments and often flies in cool, thin air where few other butterflies can survive, making it a specialized high-altitude species.
This specimen pair is preserved at A1 quality, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
