Its wings are adorned with vibrant turquoise hues, interspersed with black and white patterns, including a reddish-orange band on the forewings. The hindwing varies among subspecies, showcasing a range of colours.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe larvae of E. pulchella feed on Helicia cochinchinensis, accumulating toxic cyanide compounds for defence. This toxicity is visually emphasized by the moth's aposematic colouration. When threatened, adult moths release toxins in a foamy discharge from their heads. The chemicals linamarin and lotaustralin, identified in the moth, contribute to its noxious properties. With six known subspecies, the variability in wing colouration and patterns across its extensive geographic range adds to the moth's allure. Despite its stunning appearance, the moth's toxicity makes it a noteworthy subject of study in the realm of Lepidoptera.\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.
