Giant dragonfly specimen. Male and female pair. In case.
May 2026
Collected in Niigata Prefecture.
Petalura (Petalura), male and female pair
Total 2 specimens
Immediately after collection, specimens were preserved in alcohol, their internal organs removed, and the bodies were colored lemon yellow from the inside.
After removing the internal organs, they were reinforced with cotton, tissue, and toothpicks.
Petalura are rare dragonflies that can only be found by going deep into the mountains.
They are my favorite dragonflies, possessing an ancient aura.
The female, in particular, has a thick and cool-looking abdomen when viewed from the side. Please refer to the photos.
After drying, specimens were frozen for over 2 days for insect prevention, then placed in a plastic case with a desiccant and sealed with tape to prevent insects from entering.
Please remove the tape when taking out the dragonflies.
These will be shipped as fragile items via Mercari delivery. However, I cannot be held responsible for any damage during transit, so please understand this before purchasing.
If you purchase two specimen cases of the same size together, I will offer a discount of 500 yen, equivalent to the shipping cost. Please let me know via a bulk purchase request or comment.
