Framed White-barred Emperor Butterfly (Charaxes brutus) – Real Specimen Display
Add a bold and powerful piece of African butterfly majesty to your collection with this professionally framed White-barred Emperor (Charaxes brutus), also known as the White-barred Charaxes.
This striking member of the emperor group features deep black or black-brown wings crossed by a broad, clean white to creamy-yellow discal band that runs across both forewings and hindwings. On the forewings the band breaks into distinct spots toward the leading edge. The underside reveals a continuous white band against a rich reddish-brown base with the sharp black-and-white markings typical of the genus Charaxes, plus large triangular black spots near the outer margins. The overall effect is strong, elegant, and highly distinctive.
Native across much of sub-Saharan Africa (with several regional subspecies), the White-barred Emperor is a fast, powerful flier often found in woodland and forest habitats.
