NZ Puriri Moth 3D Thread Sculpture. (male) #1.

This unique and perfectly camouflaged moth is one of New Zealand's largest species, with a wingspan of up to 15cm.  I was lucky enough to find one of these stunning lichen green moths on my property, usually found under Puriri Trees, and I had the chance to study its intricate wing patterns, to photograph it, and began this design based upon a real specimen.  

Carefully pinned onto perspex, and encased in a clear acrylic box like a preserved museum specimen.

This measures:

Height:  21cm

Width:  22cm

Depth:  7cm.

Ready for hanging straight onto the wall. Each piece comes with its own certificate of authenticity.
