This listing features a beautifully preserved Placildula euryanassa, collected in March 1998 in Posadas, Misiones, Argentina. This is an authentic vintage field-collected specimen, professionally spread and presented in a clean black PE floating frame that protects the butterfly while allowing full 360° viewing.
The species is known for its warm orange-cream coloration with chocolate-brown margins and neatly scalloped patterning. Your specimen shows exceptionally even coloration, strong symmetry, and clear markings — unusually clean for a 26-year-old specimen.
