Comet Moth (M)
The male Comet Moth stands as one of nature's most extraordinary and elegant displays. Scientifically named Argema mittrei, this remarkable creature earned its common name from the spectacular trailing tails that extend from its hindwings—reminiscent of a comet streaking across the sky.
Endemic to the rainforests of Madagascar, the male Comet Moth distinguishes itself with dramatically elongated tail streamers that can reach truly remarkable lengths, complementing wings adorned in mustard yellows and subtle earth tones. These magnificent creatures serve as a testament to nature's beauty and evolutionary ingenuity.
Each specimen is delicately preserved and mounted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the full glory of its distinctive silhouette. When displayed away from direct sunlight and moisture, these displays can last for decades to come.
