The Red Lacewing (Cethosia biblis) is a stunning butterfly known for its vivid orange wings intricately patterned with black markings and scalloped edges. The underside is equally striking, featuring a complex lace-like pattern of white, orange, and brown that gives the species its name.
Native to Asia, Cethosia biblis is found throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is commonly associated with tropical forests, gardens, and forest edges.
Interesting Fact:
The caterpillars of this species feed on passionflower vines (Passiflora spp.), and both larvae and adults are chemically protected, making them unpalatable to predators.
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.
