Framed Red Flasher Butterfly (Panacea prola) – Real Specimen Display
Add a bold and dramatic piece of Neotropical forest beauty to your collection with this professionally framed Red Flasher (Panacea prola), also known as the Prola Beauty.
This striking nymphalid butterfly is famous for its startling defense display. The upper side is typically patterned in dark tones with blue or metallic highlights, but the underside of the hindwings is a vivid, unmarked bright red. When threatened, the butterfly fans its wings to suddenly “flash” this intense red coloration as a warning signal to predators or to alert others in the group. Wingspan typically measures 65–75 mm (about 2.6–3 inches).
Native from Costa Rica southward to southern Brazil, the Red Flasher is most commonly encountered in the foothills of the eastern Peruvian Andes and surrounding Amazonian regions.
