The Plain Tiger (Danaus chrysippus) is a striking butterfly with rich orange wings bordered in black and dotted with white spots. Its appearance closely resembles that of the Monarch, though it typically shows a more uniform orange tone with less prominent veining.
Native to Africa and Asia, Danaus chrysippus is widely distributed across tropical and subtropical regions. It is commonly found in open habitats such as grasslands, savannas, agricultural areas, and coastal regions.
Interesting Fact:
This species is highly toxic to predators due to chemicals acquired from milkweed host plants, and it participates in complex mimicry systems with other butterflies that share its warning coloration.
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.
