Adults have large, robust bodies with around 11-15 cm wingspan. The forewings are reddish-brown with yellowish or orange patterns, while the hindwings are more vibrant orange, often marked with black or dark spots. Its thick, furry body has similar reddish and yellow hues, making it stand out.\nThis species is found mainly in Central and South America, with records in countries like Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. It inhabits tropical forests, where its caterpillars feed on various host plants.\nThe genus name Citheronia may derive from Greek mythology, potentially referring to Mount Cithaeron, which was home to significant mythological events. A curious fact about this moth is its large, intimidating caterpillars, sometimes called \"hickory horned devils,\" though they are harmless to humans despite their fierce appearance.\nWe 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 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.
