It is easily recognized by its vivid coloration: the upperside of the wings is a brilliant orange-red with black borders and white spots, while the underside features an intricate lace-like pattern in shades of red, white, and brown, which gives the butterfly its common name. The wings have a scalloped edge, adding to their ornate appearance. Males and females are similar in appearance, though females may have slightly duller tones.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis subspecies, Cethosia hypsea hypsina, is primarily found in the Malay Peninsula, including southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore, and occasionally in nearby regions. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, especially areas with abundant host plants from the Passifloraceae family, which their caterpillars feed on. The Malay Lacewing is not only admired for its beauty but also plays a role in forest ecosystems as a pollinator and a prey species for birds and other predators.\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.
