Showcase one of the most visually striking insects in the world with this framed Urania Ripheus, commonly known as the Madagascan Sunset Moth.
Renowned for its vivid, iridescent coloration, this moth displays a stunning blend of greens, blues, oranges, and golds—colors that shimmer and shift depending on the light. Unlike most moths, Urania Ripheus is day-flying and prized for its butterfly-like beauty, making it one of the most sought-after display specimens in natural history collections.
Carefully preserved and mounted within a floating glass frame, the specimen appears suspended, allowing light to pass through the wings and enhance its natural brilliance. The sleek black frame provides a clean, museum-quality presentation that makes this piece a true centerpiece.
