Reportedly the world's largest butterfly known to Man, this Java Ketchupbinder landed on a woman's head while she stood watching the Royal Ascot races on Ladies' Day.
The enormous butterfly was captured and pickled after being pried off the head of designer Kristensen, on whose head it had plastered itself during the opening ceremony.
When fully dehydrated, the giant butterfly will reside in the Permanent Collection of Lepidoptery on the 5th floor of the British Museum.
