This insect is characterized by its vivid coloration and intricate wing patterns. Its forewings display a mix of yellow, green, and white speckles, while the hindwings feature a gradient of blue near the abdomen and black borders, creating a visually captivating appearance . Like other members of the genus *Pyrops*, it possesses an elongated, snout-like projection on its head, though this structure is not bioluminescent despite the \"lanternfly\" moniker . Historically classified as a subspecies of *Pyrops whiteheadi*, recent taxonomic revisions have elevated *P. gunjii* to full species status, distinguishing it from its Bornean relative *P. whiteheadi* .\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEcologically, *P. gunjii* inhabits tropical rainforests, where it feeds on plant sap using specialized piercing-sucking mouthparts. While specific host plants remain undocumented, its behavior aligns with other *Pyrops* species, which excrete excess sugary honeydew, often attracting mutualistic relationships with ants or other insects . The species is prized by collectors for its aesthetic appeal, with specimens frequently sold in entomological markets or displayed in framed arrangements . Despite its popularity, detailed biological data—such as reproductive habits or population trends—are limited, highlighting the need for further research into this enigmatic insect’s ecology and conservation status .\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support sustainable tropical fauna 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.
