very unusual butterfly
because its two-tone
green coloration is
produced by pigments,
not by light refraction
from the wing scales.
This results in a very
attractive satin sheen.
In the 1980s we imported pupae from Africa in the hope of establishing a breeding colony in a tropical glasshouse. Although a few eggs were laid on Albizia, these proved infertile. We carefully preserved the worn wings of the expired butterflies and can offer a few small pendants and earrings.
Approximately 10mm diameter tray suspended from 18 mm drop.
