It is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America and is found in Mexico and the Amazon Basin. Its wings are a vibrant orange with black stripes, resembling a tiger pattern, and the hindwings have characteristic \"tails\" or dagger-like extensions. The underside of the wings is brown and cryptic, allowing camouflage when resting.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe name Marpesia refers to a mythical Amazonian warrior queen, while zerynthia might derive from Zerynthos, a mountain associated with nymphs in Greek mythology.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe butterfly's graceful appearance inspired these mythological connections. A curious fact about this species is its tendency to rest with wings closed, displaying its less conspicuous underwing to avoid predators. Additionally, it’s known for its rapid and erratic flight, making it hard to catch, even by experienced butterfly enthusiasts.\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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts 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.
