Real red Underwing moth, Catocala species from New Mexico, presented in a handmade 5.5"x5.5" wood frame. Professionally mounted on black paper.
Underwing moths have forewings the color of tree bark so that when they are resting they cannot be seen by predators. But when they go to fly or mate, they buying reveal beautiful rays of color on their underwings. Other species can be white, yellow, pink, orange or bluish grey. This species is a very nice red color.
Wingspan measures 3 inches.
You will receive the exact same specimen shown in the pictures.
Curious Kingdom has been lovingly crafting our handmade insect frames for over a decade. We have provided these natural displays for nature enthusiasts, museums, and television and film sets.
Most of our insects are ethically sourced from farming operations located throughout the world.
All of our insect frames are handmade from painted birch wood in New Orleans, Louisiana. I personally prepare each insect one at a time and put everything together here at my Bug Studio in Silver City, NM.
All frames come with 99% UV protective glass so you don't have to worry about your investment ever fading. (Although it is a good idea to still keep out of direct sunlight.)
Combined shipping for multiple purchases is just $2 extra for each additional bug.
