It is well known for the intricate, number-like pattern on the underside of its hindwings, typically resembling the number \"88\" in bold black lines over a pale or white background, bordered in vibrant red or orange. This characteristic pattern is not only visually stunning but also serves as a form of identification and camouflage. The upper side of the wings generally displays a velvety black with metallic blue or turquoise bands, making it a popular subject among butterfly collectors and photographers.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis species is native to South America, particularly found in lowland tropical forests and forest edges in countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Callicore pygas typically inhabits areas with high humidity and abundant vegetation, where it feeds on rotting fruit, tree sap, and moisture from the ground. Its vivid appearance and interesting behavior make it a favorite among ecotourists and entomologists alike. Though not considered threatened, habitat loss and environmental changes in tropical regions can affect its population distribution over time.\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.
