Notably, it has translucent, silk-like wings that shimmer with pale shades of green or yellow and are marked with subtle, circular eyespots on both forewings and hindwings. This moth, native to East Asia, is primarily found in Japan but also inhabits certain areas in China and parts of Europe, where it has been introduced for silk production. The name yamamai is derived from the Japanese language, relating to “mountain silkworm.” Uniquely, the silk produced by these moths, often called \"Japanese silk,\" is highly durable, glossy, and naturally green. Fascinatingly, it remains one of the few species cultivated for its silk outside the traditional Bombyx mori, with a long history in Japan dating back to the Jomon period, emphasizing its cultural and economic significance.\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 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.
