This striking butterfly is known for its impressive wingspan and rich, earthy coloration. The upperside of the wings typically displays shades of warm brown with subtle iridescent or golden undertones, while the underside features intricate patterns and eye spots that provide excellent camouflage against the forest floor. Its majestic, slow flight and secretive habits make it a rare sight in the wild, contributing to its mystique among lepidopterists and collectors.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUemura’s Jungle Queen is native to parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in highland or montane forests of northern Vietnam and Laos. It inhabits dense, humid woodland environments where it tends to stay near the forest floor, flying only short distances when disturbed. Like other species in its genus, S. uemurai is more active during overcast conditions or in shaded areas, often feeding on rotting fruit and tree sap rather than visiting flowers. Its limited range and specific habitat preferences make it vulnerable to deforestation and habitat fragmentation, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts in these biodiverse mountain 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease 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.
