Known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 15 centimetres (about 6 inches) or more. Its wings are typically a vibrant green colour, with white and pinkish markings. Like many silkmoths, it has long, elegant tails extending from the hindwings.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eActias ningpoana is primarily found in wooded areas, including deciduous and mixed forests, in regions of eastern Asia.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike other moths, Actias ningpoana undergoes complete metamorphosis. This includes the egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult stages.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring the larval stage, Chinese moon moth caterpillars feed on the leaves of various broadleaf trees and shrubs. Oak, willow, and other similar plants are among their preferred host plants.\nAs is common with many moths, Actias ningpoana is active during the night and rests during the day.\nThe conservation status of Actias ningpoana is not well-documented, but it may face threats from habitat loss and other environmental pressures.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike other moths and butterflies, the Chinese moon moth may hold cultural symbolism in certain regions. In some cultures, they are seen as symbols of transformation or spiritual awakening.\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.
