Belonging to the Nymphalidae family, it is renowned for its graceful appearance and distinctive colouration. With a wingspan ranging from 70 to 88 millimetres, it boasts an intricate pattern. The upper wings are primarily orange, adorned with black borders and veins. The undersides of the wings are similar in pattern but slightly paler, providing effective camouflage in their natural habitats.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQueen Butterflies are versatile in their habitat choices, ranging from deserts and grasslands to tropical forests. They are diurnal creatures, active during the day, and are often seen fluttering gracefully among flowers, particularly milkweeds, which are their favoured nectar sources.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe caterpillars of Danaus gilippus feed exclusively on plants within the Asclepiadaceae family, which includes milkweeds. This species, like many butterflies, plays a crucial role in pollination, contributing to the reproduction of numerous flowering plants. The Queen Butterfly's resilience and adaptability make it a fascinating subject of study for entomologists and a cherished sight for butterfly enthusiasts.\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.
