Productinformation

Species: Urania ripheus 
Origin: Madagascar

The Urania ripheus is one of the most striking diurnal moths in the world. This species is known for its spectacular, iridescent colours: a combination of bright green, pink, orange, yellow and black that changes hue depending on the light. The wings have a distinctive ‘staircase pattern’, and the tail-shaped tips are reminiscent of a swallowtail.

Despite its exotic appearance, this species belongs to the moths and is therefore not a butterfly, although at first glance it does not appear so. The colours are completely natural and not processed.

Expertly prepared and stylishly presented in a glass box - perfect as a colourful eye-catcher or as a special nature gift.

Also available in a glass dome or frame, tailored to your interior design needs.

All our insects come from sustainable butterfly farms that work with care and respect for nature and species conservation.
