It belongs to the *Nymphalidae* family and is renowned for the bold patterns on the underside of its hindwings, which resemble the number \"88.\" The upper side of its wings is primarily black, accented with iridescent blue or green hues on the forewings. The underside, however, is its most distinctive feature—pale white or cream-colored with bold black markings that form the characteristic \"88\" pattern. With a wingspan of approximately 3.5 to 4.5 cm, this butterfly is relatively small but highly recognizable due to its unique wing design.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e*Diaethria anna* thrives in tropical and subtropical forests, often found near rivers, clearings, and shaded pathways. It feeds primarily on rotting fruit, tree sap, and sometimes mineral-rich mud, engaging in puddling behavior to absorb essential nutrients. Males are territorial and can often be seen fluttering energetically around their preferred feeding spots. The species plays an important role in forest ecosystems by aiding in nutrient recycling. Though not currently considered threatened, habitat loss due to deforestation poses potential risks to its populations. Conservation efforts focused on preserving Mexico’s tropical forests are essential to ensuring the continued survival of this visually stunning butterfly.\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 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.
