13 CYMOTHOE SANGARIS Butterflies– Central Africa
IN079
This arrangement features 13 male specimens of CYMOTHOE SANGARIS, a diurnal butterfly from the Nymphalidae family, native to the humid tropical forests of Central Africa — particularly Cameroon, Congo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The male of this species is distinguished by its bright red wings, uniform and slightly translucent — a rare trait in the world of Lepidoptera, which has earned it the nickname Blood-red Glider. This vivid colouring is pigment-based (erythropterin), rather than structural, unlike many iridescent species.
An exclusive Objet de Curiosité mounting, at the intersection of entomological display, scientific documentation, and decorative installation
