The wingspan of the Red Cracker butterfly ranges from approximately 70 to 90 mm. The upper surface of the wings in males is bright red-orange with distinctive black borders and markings. Females, on the other hand, tend to have more subdued colouration with brownish-orange wings and similar black markings. The undersides of the wings in both males and females are generally paler, with a similar pattern of black markings.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Red Cracker butterfly is typically found in tropical and subtropical habitats, including rainforests, forest edges, and open woodlands. This species is primarily distributed in Central and South America. Its range includes countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs with many butterflies, the Red Cracker primarily feeds on the nectar of flowers. It is known to have a preference for certain plant species. These butterflies are often observed basking in the sunlight with their wings open. They are relatively strong fliers and can cover significant distances in search of food and mates.\nLike all butterflies, the Red Cracker undergoes a complete metamorphosis, which includes four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult.\nThe female butterfly lays its eggs on specific host plants, which are typically in the passionflower family (Passifloraceae). The caterpillars feed on these plants once they hatch.\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.
