The undersides are a pale greyish color with delicate patterns, providing excellent camouflage. The males display a more vivid blue than the females, a characteristic trait of sexual dimorphism.\nNative to the Neotropical region, P. damo is found from Central America to northern South America, inhabiting rainforests and tropical areas. The species name, damo, is derived from ancient Greek mythology, often associated with beauty and swiftness.\nOne of the curiosities surrounding Pseudolycaena damo is the mimicry of \"eyes\" on its wings. These markings, resembling owl eyes, help deter predators by mimicking the appearance of a larger animal, offering them a defensive advantage against potential threats.\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.
