Characterized by its olive-green body and wings, this moth displays intricate patterns of brown and cream, helping it blend into its natural environment. The wingspan typically ranges between 70 and 80 mm. Native to Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Africa, it inhabits forests and savannas where it is well-camouflaged among vegetation.\nThe name megaera is derived from Greek mythology, referring to one of the Furies, symbolizing its somewhat intimidating yet captivating appearance. One of the interesting aspects of this moth is its nocturnal feeding habits; it is highly attracted to sweet-smelling flowers, using its long proboscis to extract nectar. This moth plays a vital role in pollination, making it a key contributor to its ecosystem's health and balance.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe 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 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.
