The image displays a close-up, top-down view of an entomological exhibition case located within the Tunbridge Wells Museum & Art Gallery in Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom. The case features a dark reddish-brown wooden frame and a clear glass cover, protecting preserved butterfly specimens pinned against a light-colored mounting board.

The left and central portions of the display contain multiple rows of *Papilio machaon Linn.*, commonly known as Swallowtail Butterflies. Approximately 15 individuals are visible, each meticulously pinned with wings spread, exhibiting yellow coloration with distinctive black stripes, margins, and accentuating blue and red spots on their hindwings.

To the right, a vertical column showcases at least nine specimens of *Aporia crataegi Linn.*, the Black-Veined White butterfly. These butterflies are uniformly white with prominent black venation, also pinned with wings fully spread.

Small white labels identify the species groups; one reads "Papilio machaon Linn. Swallowtail Butterfly," and another identifies the right column as "Aporia crataegi Linn. Black-Veined White." Microscopic male and female gender symbols are discernible next to individual specimens. The bottom edge of the wooden display case rests upon a dark green surface.
