It belongs to the subfamily Heliconiinae. This butterfly is known for its vivid appearance, with bright green or emerald wings bordered by black. The males are typically brighter than females, and their wings are elongated, aiding their gliding flight pattern.\nPhilaethria dido is commonly seen in rainforests, where it flies near water bodies, bamboo, and dense vegetation. Its name \"dido\" refers to the mythical queen Dido, reflecting its regal and elegant appearance.\nA curiosity about this species is its feeding behaviour: while most butterflies are attracted to nectar, Philaethria dido prefers feeding on rotting fruits. This habit allows it to absorb nutrients unavailable in floral nectar. Despite its beautiful appearance, this butterfly is not frequently seen, making sightings especially exciting for lepidopterists.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they consider conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing 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.\nPlease consider that the specimen 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.
