The Electra Buck Moth (Hemileuca electra) is a striking species with dark brown to black wings marked by bold white bands across both the forewings and hindwings. Its high-contrast pattern and robust body give it a classic buck moth appearance.
Native to North America, Hemileuca electra is found in the southwestern United States, particularly in California. It is commonly associated with desert and semi-arid habitats, often in areas with sandy soils.
Interesting Fact:
Like other buck moths, this species is active during the day and can often be seen flying in bright sunlight, unlike most moths which are nocturnal.
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.
