Excellent print quality, quick arrival. - Colin G, Worksop
Butterfly mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
With its delicate transparency and soft green setting, glasswing butterfly creates a refined and calming focal point suited to nature-led interiors. Ideal for bedrooms, living spaces, or garden-inspired rooms, it pairs well with light tones and natural textures, adding subtle detail and elegance.
The glasswing butterfly (Greta oto) is a species found in Central and South America, known for its remarkable transparent wings. Unlike most butterflies, the wing tissue lacks the coloured scales that usually give butterflies their patterns, allowing light to pass through and creating a near-invisible effect in flight. This transparency provides a form of camouflage, helping it blend into its surroundings and avoid predators.
Perched lightly on a leaf, the butterfly is shown side-on, its delicate wings revealing fine vein structures against a soft green background. The contrast between the dark wing edges and the clear panels creates a striking, almost weightless appearance. The shallow depth of field keeps the focus on the insect, while the surrounding foliage adds a smooth, natural backdrop.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.

I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.

Brilliant! My print is beautiful. I initially ordered the wrong product due to my own error but Carol was so supportive and helpful I cannot recommend her/this company enough.
The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
