The Striped Blue Crow (Euploea mulciber) is a striking butterfly with dark brown to black wings that shimmer with subtle iridescent blue highlights. Fine pale streaks and spotting give it a refined, elegant appearance, especially when seen in motion.
Native to Asia, Euploea mulciber is found across South and Southeast Asia, including regions such as India, Thailand, and Indonesia. It is commonly associated with forests, woodland edges, and shaded habitats.
Interesting Fact:
Like other members of the crow butterflies, this species is toxic to predators due to chemicals acquired from its host plants and is often involved in mimicry complexes with other unpalatable butterflies.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality, 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.
