My new acquisition

Yesterday, I went to a shop called 'Natural Choice' in The Hague. They sell naturalistic preparations such as skulls and animals in formaldehyde, but also feathers, gemstones, shells and a lot of other naturalistic things. I bought this precious butterfly.



It is a Large Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis polychloros). I chose this butterfly, because of the natural colors and the fact that I can see them flutter around in my own garden. This is my first prepared butterfly, so I am very, very happy with it!
