It is easily recognized by its pale wings marked with intricate dark lines that resemble a geographic map, hence the name. The forewings are white or pale yellow with black or dark brown veining, while the hindwings often display a series of eye spots near the margins. These patterns provide excellent camouflage in dappled forest light, helping the butterfly evade predators. The species exhibits sexual dimorphism, though males and females are generally similar in appearance.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe African Map Butterfly is widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa, including countries such as Senegal, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It typically inhabits forests, forest edges, and wooded savannas, where its larval host plants—primarily species of the fig tree (Ficus)—are found. This butterfly is often seen gliding gracefully through sunny forest clearings or resting with wings flat on foliage. Its broad range and adaptability to various woodland environments contribute to its stable population status across much of its native range.\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.
