Claudina Agrias

The Claudina agrias lives in the deciduous and evergreen forests of South America, from Venezuela and Guyana to Bolivia. This species spends most of their lives high in the canopy, and are normally only observed when resting or feeding closer to the forest floor. These butterflies love to feast on rotting fruits and mammal dung, with females preferring the taste of rotting fruit and fish.

The picture shown is an example of the quality that you can expect to receive. Please be aware that, as these are natural products, they are subject to some variation. While no two insects are exactly alike, each of the specimens in our collection fall within the morphological perimeters for their species.

Given the natural origin of our products, and that each piece is uniquely crafted to showcase each specimen at its best, the bell jar you receive may be slightly different in size than the one pictured.

All of the insects in our collection are responsibly and ethically sourced through sustainable insect farming and commercial breeding.

This approach helps native communities generate a sustainable and equitable income, while providing an economic incentive to protect endangered habitats rather than environmentally destructive practices such as deforestation for logging and agriculture.
