Framed Red Lacewing Butterfly (Cethosia biblis) – Real Specimen Display
Add a vivid and intricately patterned piece of Asian forest beauty to your collection with this professionally framed Red Lacewing (Cethosia biblis), also known as the Lacewing Biblis.
This striking nymphalid butterfly is famous for its bold upper-side coloration and elaborate underside. Males display bright orange-red wings framed by a deep black border dotted with white spots, while the underside reveals a complex, lace-like mosaic of black, white, yellow, and pinkish-red bands, spots, and chevrons. Females are more subdued in greyish-brown tones with their own intricate patterning. The overall effect is both dramatic and finely detailed — one of the most ornate wing patterns among tropical butterflies. Wingspan typically measures 8–9 cm (about 3.1–3.5 inches).
Native to subtropical forests across a wide range from India and Nepal through Southeast Asia (including Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia), the Red Lacewing is a classic and highly collectible species.
