Treasures From My Travels: Costa Rican Butterfly Wings

When I was visiting Costa Rica I was enchanted by the amazing butterflies that seemed appear everywhere.

I wanted to bring a butterfly souvenir home with me but I knew that many of the mounted butterflies for sale were captured in the wild and could be endangered. When I found this little collage of butterfly wings at a local artisan market I knew it was perfect.

The butterfly wings in the collage are all from non-endangered farmed butterflies and were collected after the butterflies had already died. I love the colors in the wings and the beautiful patterns they make. It is a lovely reminder of the amazing time I spent in Costa Rica.
