These are beautiful mounted Butterflies or as I call them flutterbys .
They are the most most beautiful colors and in a large setting . I was given these after a friend went to Ecuador as a gift . The transformation of a butterfly is amazing . I did not hurt these beautiful creatures but I do collect butterfly (flutterbys) on glassware ,photo's ect .

Very nice comment earthling ! Thank you :-) And your poem says what I think a butterfly ----flutters by so they should be called flutterbys :-)

Amazing how they evolve to Beautiful Butterfly. :)
Manikin, That poem if from a children's book I loved when I was a kid. (It's actually about cats.) Also, my fourth grade teacher used to call them flutterbys too. :-)
