Real Butterfly Wing Earrings - Baltimore Checkerspot - Euphydryas phaeton - Resin Sterling Silver

These handmade butterfly wing earrings are created using real butterfly wings from a Baltimore Checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton), carefully preserved and encased in clear resin to showcase the striking black, cream, and orange checkered patterning of this iconic species.
