It is notable for its pale blue to bluish-white wings with contrasting darker markings, making it one of the more colorful cicadas of Asia. The species was originally described by William Lucas Distant in 1878 and was historically placed in the genus Tosena. Modern taxonomic studies have since transferred it to the genus Distantalna, so its currently accepted scientific name is Distantalna splendida, although Tosena splendida remains widely used in older literature and among collectors.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Blue Cicada is distributed across much of South and Southeast Asia, with records from India, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forested regions where adults are typically found on trees, feeding on plant sap and producing the characteristic loud calls of cicadas. The species is especially valued by entomologists and insect enthusiasts because of its distinctive coloration and large size.\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.
