The Blue Butterflies from Leafwings, Asteropes and Hamadryas

So the Polygrapha cyanea (first butterfly, Cyanea leafwing) is found in the Anaeini tribe like the butterfly to the right, of him the Memphis polyxo (Polyxo leafwing). The butterfly to the right of the Memphis is the Asterope leprieuri, also known as the Leprieur's glory. Then the last butterfly is the Hamadryas laodamia, or the Starry Night Cracker. They are called that because of the Cracking noises they make to scare off other male butterflies.

The Real Red and Blue Agrias Amydon Butterfly

This is the intricately patterned Agrias amydon mounted and framed in a Black display. A great gift for a butterfly enthusiast to add to their collection. Also a great piece for home decorating.

The Agrias butterflies are some of the most fascinating butterflies in the whole world, let alone the Amazon. One of their greatest physical characteristics is their vibrant red bands on the front of the wings. Then, it’s almost like having two beautiful butterflies because the backside of the wings are phenomenally patterned. This is one of the most amazing creatures in Amazon, but you really have to be able to see both sides to fully appreciate how awesome this butterfly is.

The stunning butterfly can be found in Colombia, Bolivia and every country in between that runs along the Amazon Basin. All Agrias spend most of their times at the higher levels of the forest canopies. There are many different forms claimed to be true new forms to drive up the value. I do not doubt that this magnificent butterfly is not capable of having many forms, in fact, there have been several documented cases of hybrid Agrias with Preponas. There is even a taxon called the Prepona sarumani which is a Prepona praenestre and Agrias claudina hybrid, WHOA!

5.5" x 6.5" Black frame with double pane glass front and back (see through). All frames are sealed and all butterflies are entomologically spread, dried and mounted.
