Butterfly wings are commonly used in morphometric studies. For this reason they are detached from the body in order to get a clearer image for the analysis. In some cases this is not desirable as it would destroy a butterfly that may have greater value displayed. Our results show that displayed butterflies can also be used in morphometric analyses.
