The wingspan of this moth can reach up to 16 cm, with males typically displaying bright orange-brown forewings adorned with dark, wavy patterns, and large, eye-like spots on each hindwing, which serve as a defence mechanism against predators. The moth is primarily found in tropical forests across Central and West Africa.\nThe name \"Lobobunaea\" derives from Greek, meaning \"lobed\" and \"beautiful,\" reflecting the moth's ornate wing patterns. The species name \"acetes\" may reference Greek mythology, though its specific origin is unclear.\nA unique curiosity about Lobobunaea acetes is its larval stage, where the caterpillars are bright green with white spots, mimicking the appearance of bird droppings as a camouflage strategy against predators, showcasing the moth's fascinating survival adaptations.\nWe 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.
