It is well known for its bright orange wings with black and white markings, which serve as a warning to predators about its toxicity. This warning coloration is a result of the butterfly's diet as a caterpillar, feeding on milkweed plants that contain toxic compounds (cardenolides). The plain tiger is closely related to the North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and shares similar mimicry and defense strategies.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe plain tiger has a broad distribution, found across Africa, Asia, and parts of Australia. It thrives in a wide range of habitats including grasslands, scrublands, gardens, and even urban environments. In warmer regions, it is active year-round, while in slightly cooler climates, its activity may be seasonal. Because of its adaptability and widespread host plants, Danaus chrysippus is one of the most common and recognizable butterflies in its 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 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.
