Moth Taxidermy full body mount - Argema Mittrei female - Madagascan Comet - Moon Moth - 25 cm - 25 cm - 5 cm - Non-CITES species - 1

The Argema Mittrei, commonly known as the Madagascan Comet or Moon Moth, is one of the most enchanting and iconic moths in the world. This female specimen is especially remarkable, with long, elegant tail-like extensions on its hindwings and a wingspan that can reach an impressive 15 to 18 centimeters. Its soft, light yellow color with delicate, eye-like markings makes it a true wonder of nature. Native to the forests of Madagascar, the Argema Mittrei is admired for its beauty and symbolizes the exotic flora and fauna of the island. Unlike her male counterpart, the female has broader wings and more subtle coloring, with her long, ribbon-like tails adding an extra touch of elegance. To preserve the beauty and delicate details of the Argema Mittrei, each moth is carefully mounted behind anti-UV plexiglass. This high-quality glass protects against harmful UV rays, preventing fading and aging, so you can enjoy her beauty for many years to come. We take the utmost care when packaging the moth to ensure its quality is preserved during transport. Each package is carefully assembled to prevent any damage. If any issues arise upon receiving your specimen, please feel free to reach out so we can provide a suitable solution.
