It is one of Africa's larger moths with a wingspan that can reach up to 15 cm. The moth's wings are predominantly brown, adorned with eye-catching orange, yellow, and white patterns that serve as camouflage against predators. The hindwings feature distinctive \"eye spots,\" which can startle or deter potential threats.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis species is distributed across various parts of sub-Saharan Africa, including countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Its larvae feed on various host plants, particularly in the Fabaceae family.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEpiphora derives from the Greek words for \"to bear upon,\" likely referring to the moth's prominent markings, while bauhinia refers to the genus Bauhinia, a type of host plant. A curious fact about Epiphora bauhiniae is its role in local ecosystems, where its caterpillars are sometimes considered pests due to their voracious appetite for vegetation.\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.
