It is known for its large wingspan, often reaching over 15 cm (about 6 inches), and its richly patterned wings that feature earthy tones of brown, tan, and reddish hues. Like many giant silk moths, it has prominent eye-like markings on its wings, which may help deter predators. Adults do not feed and live only long enough to reproduce, relying on energy stored from their caterpillar stage.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis species is primarily distributed across Central and South America, with records from countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, and parts of northern South America including Colombia and Ecuador. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, where its larvae feed on a variety of host plants. Despite its wide range, it is not commonly encountered due to its nocturnal habits and relatively short adult lifespan.\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.
