Dysphania malayanus is a bold and unusual day-flying geometrid moth with dark wings marked by vivid contrasting spots and patches. Like other members of the genus Dysphania, it has a bright, high-contrast appearance and an active daytime flight that can make it seem more butterfly-like than many typical moths.
Native to Asia, Dysphania malayanus occurs in Southeast Asia, including areas from Thailand through western Malesia and Palawan. It is associated with tropical forest habitats and forest-edge environments.
Interesting Fact:
Unlike many moths, species in the genus Dysphania are often active by day, and their bright coloration helps make them among the most visually striking members of the Geometridae.
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.
