Pair of BRAHMEA HEARSEYI butterflies in entomologist’s box
PUIN072
A butterfly designed by a tattoo atist? No: just nature by itself!
This pair of BRAHMEA HEARSEYI, native to China, illustrates the singular beauty of this nocturnal species. With their broad, finely patterned wings, almost graphic in appearance, these moths seem to hover between forest camouflage and textile ornament.
They belong to the Brahmaeidae family, immediately recognisable by its intricate patterns and subtle tones: warm browns, smoky greys, and delicate cream lines.
Here, the male and female are presented side by side in a museum-inspired entomologist’s box – deep bordeaux exterior, pale blue edging, and a sober interior.
