These medium-sized insects display prominent eyes and a sturdy body, with their wings featuring intricate vein patterns that enhance their delicate appearance.\nNative to Southeast Asia, particularly found in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and parts of Indonesia, B. electa thrives in tropical forest habitats. It prefers dense, humid areas where it can blend into the foliage.\nThe genus name Becquartina honours Belgian entomologist Joseph Becquaert, who contributed significantly to the study of insects, while the species name electa refers to its \"chosen\" or \"distinct\" status due to its remarkable appearance.\nA unique curiosity about cicadas, including Becquartina electa, is their ability to produce loud, distinctive calls. Males use these sounds to attract mates, with their volume sometimes reaching levels comparable to machinery.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they protect the rainforest where they fly and develop 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.
