This listing features an authentic Oleria makrena schoenfelderi, a beautifully delicate clearwing butterfly collected in September 1994 in El Limbo, Cochabamba, Bolivia. This is a true vintage specimen—over 30 years old—professionally spread and preserved inside a clean, modern PE floating frame.
Its wings display the classic Ithomiine look:
• Sheer glass-like transparency
• Warm nut-brown margins and forewing streaking
• Subtle ivory wing panels that glow when backlit
Clearwing butterflies like this one always look exceptional in floating frames—light enhances the transparency and creates a glowing, museum-quality effect.
