Framed Giant Leaf Insect - Malaysia - Framed in black
A beautiful and huge female specimen of the world's biggest leaf-insect, from the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. It's hard to convey how well the camouflage mimics a real leaf, right down to the slightly chewed-looking and brown edges! Specimen captive-raised in Malaysia.
As with all my listings, the specimen in the photos is the one that you will get.
The black frame is 22cm x 27cm (approx. 9 inches x 11), and has info about the species on the back. I have begun to make a range of specimens framed in black due to popular demand.
Many hours goes into the preparation of each of my framed specimens. All my frames are hand made from natural timber, and custom sized for each specimen or set. I do not use pre-made commercial frames, or cheap "shadow boxes".
My Minibeast framing began in 1996 in Christchurch, New Zealand, where I hotsell sold them at the Art Centre market for 12 years. Though I am now otherwise employed and live in Australia, I have never lost my passion for this hobby and am now finding time to prepare a few specimens in my home workshop.
I firmly believe that these are the finest quality framed insects you'll see anywhere in the world. I really hope you like them as much as I do!
