The Memphis butterfly, scientifically classified under the genus "Memphis," is a striking insect species characterized by its vibrant colouration and distinctive wing patterns. Typically, they feature bold black markings on a background of bright orange or yellow, with some species displaying intricate designs. Found primarily in North and South America, Memphises thrive in diverse habitats ranging from forests to open grasslands. The name "Memphis" possibly originates from Greek mythology or regional nomenclature. Notably, these butterflies are known for their agile flight and rapid movements, making them a challenging subject for observers. Their captivating appearance and behaviour make them a subject of interest for entomologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
We firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of the conservation of the rainforest where they fly and the development of responsible conscious trading. This allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species. Please take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.
Please note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time. The outer frame remains white.
This detail has not been an issue in over six years of offering this product, but we wanted to proactively inform you to ensure full transparency.
This applies only to deep frame items. Shadow boxes, if selected, come with a white inner frame.
