The Tiger Leafwing (Placidina euryanassa) is a striking butterfly with bright orange wings marked by bold black striping, giving it a tiger-like appearance. Its angular wing shape and strong patterning make it both eye-catching and distinctive.
Native to South America, Placidina euryanassa is found in tropical forests, often along edges and sunlit clearings where it can be seen gliding and perching.
Interesting Fact:
When at rest with wings closed, this species blends into its surroundings with a more subdued underside, helping it avoid detection by predators.
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.
