This moth's wings are dark brown to nearly black, often with subtle purple or blue iridescence, marked by wave-like lines and an eyespot on each forewing. Unlike many moths, the Black Witch has semi-translucent \"windows\" in its wings, which add a ghostly effect when it’s in flight. Native to the Americas, it occasionally migrates to southern regions of China and other parts of East Asia.\nThe name Ascalapha originates from Greek mythology, where it is associated with death. This reflects superstitions about the moth as a harbinger of misfortune or even death. This unique lore spans cultures, with Mexican folklore linking the Black Witch Moth to transformation and fate, making it a mysterious figure in both nature and mythology.\nWe 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 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.
