With a wingspan of approximately 100 to 130 mm, it displays a striking appearance. The upper side of its wings showcases a vibrant electric blue colour, which contrasts beautifully against its jet-black body and edges. The underside of the wings exhibits a mix of pale blue and green hues, adorned with subtle white markings. This graceful butterfly inhabits tropical rainforests and coastal regions, where it gracefully flutters from flower to flower, feeding on nectar and enchanting all who encounter its captivating beauty.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePapilio blumei, commonly known as the peacock butterfly, is a spectacular species renowned for its iridescent wings. Found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia and Malaysia, its wings showcase a vivid blue-green metallic sheen, resembling peacock feathers. The name \"Blumei\" pays homage to the 19th-century Dutch botanist Carl Ludwig Blume, who made significant contributions to the study of Asian flora. Curiously, this butterfly exhibits a unique phenomenon called \"structural colouration,\" where the vibrant hues are produced by microscopic structures rather than pigments. This adaptation allows it to shimmer and change colour when viewed from different angles, making it a marvel of natural optics.\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.
