A large butterfly mid-flight, rendered in loose blackwork with ink splatter radiating outward — drips running down from the body, dots scattered across the wings. The effect sits somewhere between a brushstroke painting and a pressed specimen, and the contrast between the solid black fills and the white wing veins gives it real depth.

Wide and bold at 100 × 135 mm, this one reads as a centrepiece. Works well on an upper back, a shoulder blade, or the outer thigh — anywhere it has space to spread its wings. A solid choice for anyone testing a dark, statement butterfly before going permanent.
