Native to the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru, this moth favours altitudes between 1,000 and 2,500 meters, where the cooler, moist environment supports its lifecycle. The Caio witti showcases an impressive wingspan of approximately 8–10 cm. Its forewings feature a beautiful gradient of earthy tones, often brown to olive-green, with intricate patterns resembling leaves or bark to help it blend seamlessly into its forest habitat. The hindwings add a surprising contrast, often displaying shades of red or orange, and spots reminiscent of eyes, which deter predators.\nEtymologically, \"Caio\" is a homage to an early entomologist, while \"witti\" honors a collaborator or collector associated with the moth’s discovery. A unique curiosity of Caio witti is its limited adult life span; like many Saturniidae moths, it does not eat and lives solely to reproduce, often surviving just one week.\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.
