Its vibrant appearance features iridescent green bands set against velvety black wings. These moths exhibit long tails on their hindwings, reminiscent of some butterfly species, further enhancing their graceful flight. Native to the tropical regions of South America, Urania leilus is primarily found in the Amazon basin, including countries like Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. They migrate extensively in search of host plants, particularly Omphalea species.\nThe genus name \"Urania\" is derived from Greek mythology, referencing Urania, the muse of astronomy, perhaps hinting at the celestial beauty of the moth’s shimmering colours. “Leilus” may relate to the scientific tradition of binomial nomenclature without a specific mythological link.\nA curious fact is that, unlike most moths, Urania leilus is active during the day, much like butterflies, drawing attention to its vivid colours and patterns.\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.
