Purple Hairstreak Butterfly Fine Art Giclée Print – 15cm

Insect Fine Art Giclée Print – Purple Hairstreak Butterfly

The purple hairstreak (Favonius quercus) is one of Britain's most beautiful and least-seen butterflies, not because it is rare, but because it spends most of its life high in the canopy of oak trees, feeding on honeydew and rarely descending to eye level. Catch one in the right light, however, and the iridescent purple-blue sheen on the upper wings is quite breathtaking. It is found across England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, wherever mature oaks grow. This giclée reproduction print brings the purple hairstreak into close focus – a lovely gift for a nature lover, and suitable wall art for a violet or plum-toned interior.

This is a reproduction of Purple Hairstreak Butterfly, (2024).
