This butterfly is known for its distinctively white wings and is found in various parts of the Americas, including Central and South America.\nAppearance: The White Angled-Sulphur is a relatively large butterfly with predominantly white wings. The upper side of the wings is mostly white, with subtle pale yellow or greenish markings. The tips of the forewings often have a distinctive black border, and the hindwings may have faint, diffuse markings. The undersides of the wings are pale yellow or greenish, with a network of fine veins.\nSize: These butterflies have a wingspan that typically ranges from about 6 to 7.5 centimetres (2.4 to 3 inches).\nHabitat: Anteos maerula is commonly found in a variety of habitats, including open fields, gardens, and forest clearings. They are known to inhabit both lowland and montane areas.\nBehaviour: White Angled-Sulphurs are diurnal and are active during the daytime. They are often seen in flight, fluttering around flowers to feed on nectar.\nDiet: As adults, these butterflies primarily feed on nectar from various flowering plants. They play a role in pollination by transferring pollen from one flower to another as they feed.\nLife Cycle: Like other butterflies, the life cycle of Anteos maerula consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. The caterpillars feed on the leaves of host plants, which can include various species within the family Fabaceae.\nRange: Anteos maerula is found in various parts of Central and South America, including countries like Mexico, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Their range can extend from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.\nConservation: The conservation status of the White Angled-Sulphur is not widely assessed, but it is not considered endangered. However, like many butterfly species, it may face threats related to habitat destruction and environmental changes.\nAnteos maerula is a beautiful butterfly with its white wings and subtle markings. It contributes to the pollination of flowering plants in its habitat and adds to the biodiversity of the ecosystems where it is found.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
