From the Field Notes series, this shadow box showcases a Hesperus swallowtail (Papilio hesperus), Weevil beetle (Curculionidae sp.), & Flower chafer beetle (Torynorrhina flammea) on pressed Jasmine (Jasminum polyanthum). This particular piece is incredible because the main specimen is a Hesperus swallowtail butterfly that was collected in 1976 and has the original specimen data information from the piece of paper that was used to store the unpinned insect - something that is quite rare to find these days.
