A grid of nine butterfly specimens, each displayed with wings spread against a neutral background. The butterflies exhibit a wide variety of wing patterns and colors, including orange with black stripes, dark brown with white and orange spots, and black with white and red markings. Each specimen is labeled with a 20 mm scale bar for size reference.
