They are commonly known as tiger moths. This subfamily is incredibly diverse and contains a large number of species, many of which are known for their striking and colourful patterns. Because of their diversity and interesting biological features, Arctiinae moths are of interest to entomologists and researchers studying insect behaviour, ecology, and evolution.\nMany Arctiinae moths are known for their vibrant colours and bold patterns. They often have a combination of black, white, orange, yellow, or red markings.\nSome species of tiger moths have aposematic colouration, which means their bright colours serve as a warning to predators that they are toxic or unpalatable.\nLike most moths, Arctiinae are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are active at night.\nThe caterpillars of tiger moths are often covered in dense, bristly hairs. These hairs can sometimes cause skin irritation in humans.\nSome species in this subfamily have developed unique defence mechanisms. For example, the larva of the Cinnabar Moth (Tyria jacobaeae) feeds on toxic plants and accumulates toxins in its body, making it unpalatable to predators.\nArctiinae moths are found all over the world, with a particularly high diversity in tropical regions.\nSome tiger moths exhibit mimicry, where they resemble other insects or even non-insect organisms as a form of defence against predators.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur farmers in Veracruz, Mexico ethically source these beautiful butterflies.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing 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 consider that the specimen 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.
