I was very nervous to order these. I've never ordered anything like this before and I read a bunch of reviews, What was extremely nervous that they would come all crushed up. They came package in a plastic box, And each individual butterfly was in a ziploc bag, and inside that bag was a block of some kind of foam that had a cut out the shape of each of the butterflies bodies where they lay. That allowed the entire butterfly to lay as flat as possible. Very smartly packaged!!! Because their packaged so well the only damage was that 1 of the smaller ones had an antenna broken, And the 2 largest had their lower bodies broken off. I don't personally care that the bodies were broken off of the large ones, mainly because I'm not sure what I'm going to do with these yet, but my purpose will definitely be a craft one, and for that purpose the wings are the main part that I care about. I wasn't sure what to expect, But I am super impressed with how beautiful they all are! All 15 are gorgeous, And 14 of them are ones that I personally love. There is only one that I don't love, and that is only because it's the type of butterfly that has a leaf shape wing, and those are just one of my least favorite types. The fact that these cost only $27 for a pack of 15 of them blows me away. Such an incredible value! I highly recommend these to anyone looking for dried butterflies. And if I ever find a need for More I will absolutely be purchasing from this seller again! I took all of the photos without removing them from the packing bags, so forgive all of the glare. Unfortunately in the photos it isn't as easy to see the colors, but they are much more vivid in person! The purples, and oranges are quite lovely and bright.
