The upper wings are predominantly black with bright crimson patches near the base, while the hindwings showcase white spots. The underside of the wings features intricate patterns of brown, black, and white. This butterfly prefers habitats like open woodlands and meadows, found primarily in the southwestern United States, Central America, and northern South America.\nThe genus name \"Chlosyne\" derives from Greek mythology, referencing Chlôsÿnē, a nymph, while \"janais\" is believed to originate from the butterfly's describer, Felder and Felder, possibly inspired by a personal name. A curious aspect of the crimson patch is its migratory behaviour; it occasionally makes unexpected appearances far outside its usual range. This butterfly is also notable for its pollination role, contributing to its habitat's ecological health.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur farmers in Veracruz, Mexico ethically source these beautiful butterflies.\nWe 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.
