These butterflies are known for their striking and often iridescent colours.\nSalamis butterflies are typically large and have distinctive wing patterns. Some species also have prominent spots or patterns.\nThey are found in various parts of Africa, particularly in sub-Saharan regions.\nSalamis butterflies are adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, including forests, savannas, grasslands, and even urban areas. Some species are associated with specific types of vegetation. Like many butterflies, Salamis butterflies are known to be strong and agile flyers. They are often seen feeding on nectar from flowering plants. The caterpillars of Salamis butterflies are usually well-camouflaged and feed on the leaves of specific host plants, which can vary depending on the species.\nWhile not all species exhibit mimicry, some Salamis butterflies have evolved mimicry as a defence mechanism. They may resemble other, often unpalatable, butterfly species to deter 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.","brand":"The Insectrum Company","offers":[{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":52887208329480,"sku":"INSECTRUMFRAMES3013","price":35.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK FRAME \/ WITHOUT NAME TAG","offer_id":52887208362248,"sku":"INSECTRUMFRAMES3014","price":35.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ WITH NAME TAG","offer_id":52887208395016,"sku":"INSECTRUMFRAMES3015","price":35.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"WHITE FRAME \/ WITHOUT NAME TAG","offer_id":52887208427784,"sku":"INSECTRUMFRAMES3016","price":35.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/4408\/6280\/files\/69cab092648aace8fa3de798.png?v=1776259813","url":"https:\/\/insectrumcompany.com\/products\/framed-salamis-butterfly-central-africa-6x6","provider":"The Insectrum Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
