This Original Painting of a tortoiseshell butterfly.
Comes set in a circular stone effect frame.
Did you know small tortoiseshell butterflies overwinter as an adult. The caterpillars feed on common nettle.
Male small tortoiseshells are very territorial, chasing each other, other butterflies and anything else that appears in their space. They court females by 'drumming' their antennae on the females' hindwings.
All ready for gifting or displaying.
