It features a distinctive iridescent blue upper side, contrasting with the rich brown underside adorned with orange spots and white lines. The butterfly has unique crown-like markings on its hindwings, giving it its regal name.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrimarily found in the eastern United States, the Regal Hairstreak inhabits deciduous forests and woodland edges, often near oak trees, which are essential for its caterpillars.\nThe name \"Evenus\" is derived from the Greek word for \"even\" or \"equal,\" while \"regalis\" means \"royal\" in Latin, reflecting its elegant appearance. A fascinating aspect of this butterfly is its mutualistic relationship with ants; the caterpillars secrete a sugary substance that attracts ants, which in turn protects the caterpillars from predators. This symbiosis showcases the intricate connections in nature.\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 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.
