Rogers’ Acraea (Acraea rogersi) is a vibrant butterfly with translucent orange wings marked by bold black spotting. The semi-transparent quality of the wings gives it a delicate, glass-like appearance while still maintaining strong contrast and visibility.
Native to sub-Saharan Africa, Acraea rogersi is commonly found in open habitats such as savannas, grasslands, and lightly wooded areas where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
Like many Acraea species, this butterfly is chemically protected—its caterpillars feed on toxic host plants, making the adults unpalatable to predators and part of mimicry complexes.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
