This critter is also known as "The Gladiator." Preserved by Chicago-based group The Butterfly Company, this lovely unmounted male Hypolimnus dexithea hails from Madagascar and feat ures spiked black and white wings that look nearly blue in some light. It's looking for its next home, whether within a fancy frame or pinned in a lush terrarium scene — could yours be the one? Size: ~3.3" Please note: Each creature is fragile and should be handled delicately. Natural variations in size, color, etc. may occur in insects and no two are fully alike. They're sold as-is in their "flying" position; they're not malleable, and are not mounted or prepared otherwise in any form of display situation. Show more
