A fictitious specimen inspired by the Common Bluebottle (Graphium sarpedon) butterfly. The wings are composed of resistors, capacitors, enameled wire from motor coils and a bit of brass wire. the abdomen is the lever part of a small, chromed toggle switch.

NOTE: There is a small channel in the white resin on the right side of this piece. There was an odd bubble in this spot. See the last image with the orange arrow pointing it out.
