It is renowned for its vivid wing patterns, which include deep black forewings accented by iridescent blue or green bands. The hindwings are particularly eye-catching, featuring a bright red or orange outer edge that contrasts against the darker background. The underside of the hindwings is especially distinctive, displaying bold black markings on a pale yellow or cream-colored surface, often resembling numbers or symbols—an iconic trait of the *Callicore* genus. With a wingspan of approximately 4–5 cm, this butterfly stands out in its tropical rainforest habitat.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the wild, *Callicore cyllene* thrives in Peru’s lush forests, often found near riverbanks, trails, and clearings. Males are frequently seen engaging in puddling behavior, extracting minerals from damp soil to enhance their reproductive success. They primarily feed on rotting fruit and tree sap, contributing to nutrient recycling in their ecosystem. Their striking appearance and unique markings make them highly sought after by collectors, though they play an essential role in maintaining biodiversity. As with many rainforest species, habitat preservation is crucial to ensuring their continued survival amid environmental changes.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing 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 consider that the specimen 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.
