This species is renowned for its striking blue wings, which are adorned with iridescent hues that shimmer in the sunlight. The forewings are a rich, dark brown to black, while the hindwings are a brilliant blue with darker edges. The underside of the wings is more subdued, featuring a brownish color with pale markings that help the butterfly blend into its surroundings when at rest. With a wingspan of about 45 to 55 mm, *Evenus regalis* is a medium-sized butterfly, easily recognizable by its regal, shimmering appearance.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Regal Blue inhabits forested areas, particularly near streams and clearings where it can find abundant sources of nectar. Males are often seen in pursuit of mates, displaying territorial behavior as they patrol their chosen areas. They tend to feed on nectar from a variety of flowering plants and are occasionally spotted near moist soil where they engage in puddling behavior to extract minerals. Despite its beauty, *Evenus regalis* is somewhat elusive due to its swift flight and tendency to remain concealed in the dense undergrowth. Habitat loss due to deforestation remains a concern for this species, highlighting the need for continued conservation efforts in the regions where it resides.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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\u003e\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\u003e\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.
