The moth typically has a wingspan of about 90–120 mm. Its forewings are a blend of brown, beige, and orange hues, with distinct wavy lines and dark markings, while the hindwings feature a vibrant pinkish-orange base, often fading into yellow or brown towards the edges. These colours provide excellent camouflage against tree bark and foliage.\nDistributed widely across the Americas, Protambulyx strigilis can be found in the southern United States, through Central America, and into South America, including Brazil and Argentina. Its range also extends to parts of the Caribbean.\nThe species name \"strigilis\" is derived from Latin, meaning \"scraper,\" possibly referring to the moth's wing pattern. A curious aspect is that its larvae feed on Anacardiaceae plants, such as cashew trees, making it important in local ecosystems.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of 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 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.
