The Madagascar Blue-throated Butterfly (Hypolimnas dexithea) is one of the most beautiful endemic butterflies in Madagascar and impresses with its bright coloring and striking pattern. The species was first described in 1863. Hypolimnas dexithea belongs to the Nymphalidae family and is an example of the pronounced sexual dimorphism that often occurs in this genus. The females are usually slightly larger than the males and have a slightly different wing shape.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the plexiglass box was made in a German taxidermy studio.
