The Blue Admiral (Kaniska canace) is a striking butterfly with deep, velvety black wings highlighted by a brilliant iridescent blue band across both wings. The wing edges are slightly scalloped, giving it a bold and refined appearance.
Native to Asia, Kaniska canace is found across South and Southeast Asia, including regions such as India, China, and Japan. It is commonly associated with forested habitats, woodland edges, and mountainous areas.
Interesting Fact:
This species often basks with its wings open in sunlit patches and is known for its strong, gliding flight. Like many nymphalids, it is more frequently attracted to tree sap and fermenting fruit than to flowers.
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.
