Framed Butterfly - Hypolimnas Dexithea

Hypolimnas Dexithea, Mounted in Acrylic Box

Native to Madagascar, Hypolimnas Dexithea - also known as the Madagascar diadem, or the Gladiator, is admired for its large size and bold wing patterning. The female, notably more vibrant than the male, features striking orange and white markings over a deep brown to black background, creating a dramatic contrast.
