Framed Madagascan Sunset Moth (underside)

Product Description

The Madagascan Sunset Moth is one of the most colorful and recognized moths in the world. The presentation of this framed Sunset Moth displays the underside of the moth revealing its colorful under belly. This day flying moth is endemic to Madagascar and is known to migrate throughout the island in large numbers. The framed sunset moth topside is just as stunning. The vibrant colors are not actually pigments, but are due to a refraction of light on the scales of its delicate wings. The moth is poisonous to predators and obtains its toxins by eating the leaves of the Omphaela plant as a caterpillar.
