Description
The common name of this moth comes from the rich reds, oranges, & turquoise that paint the scene of a setting African sun & unlike other moths, this species flies during the day. Its colors made it popular with the Victorians, who used its wings to make jewelry. A unique mothers day gift.

My B.U.G. STORY: My name is Kevin Clarke & I personally preserve, spread & mount all insect displays in my Sonoma County California BUG studio. After completing a graduate degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insects, I changed my focus to art in a hope that it brings more attention to their beauty & plight. WHERE DO THE BUGS COME FROM? Having a graduate degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insect conservation, the insects I work with are not rare or endangered & come either insect farming programs (often run by governments or conservation groups), breeders or other sustainable sources. http://www.etsy.com/shop/BugUnderGlass Copyrighted © Bug Under Glass 2010-2019.
