Chrysiridia rhipheus, a diurnal moth from Madagascar, is one of the most impressive butterflies in the world. It is very common in breeding and its wing coloring is not caused by color pigments, but by the refraction of light on specially shaped scales. That is why preparations of this type do not discolor over a long period of time.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the front glazed frame was made in a German taxidermy studio.
