This moth inhabits the tropical forests from Mexico to Brazil. Its beautiful turquoise-metallic wing bands get their color from light refraction on the wing scales. These preparations retain their natural coloring for a long time.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the plexiglass box was made in a German taxidermy studio.
