Carolina Saddlebag on Phacelia

$75.00

From the Field Notes series, this shadow box showcases a Carolina saddlebag (Tramea carolina) on pressed Lacy phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia). This is a simpler display from the collection, showing a single dragonfly on an array of delicately pressed lacy phacelia flowers, known for their spiral arrangement and small purple flowers. Carolina saddlebags have clear wings, which allow any background elements to shine through their delicate features.

Every arrangement and display from the Field Notes series was sourced, preserved, and arranged with thought and care to capture the essence of exploration and curiosity about the modern world. If you want to add a bit of natural history to your home, a piece from this series is perfect for you. This piece will function as a wall hanging or a table-top/shelf display.

This piece was created by Paloma Strong of Strong Taxidermy.
