Offered for sale is a beautiful and huge White Witch Moth, Thysania agrippina, mounted and framed in a 8x10x1.5” black shadowbox.
The moth is mounted and framed on black Kraft board that is acid and lignin free. A double black mat surrounds the moth. On the back of the frame is a tag identifying the common name, scientific name, and locality.
Other common outlet names for this massive moth include “the ghost moth, great grey witch and great owlet moth. Thysania agrippina is of interest as a competitor for title of “largest insect.” This may be true by the measure of wingspan—a Brazilian specimen with a wingspan of almost 30 cm (12 in) appears to hold the record. The Atlas moth and Hercules moth, however, have greater wing areas.”
All insects used in my Etsy shop are from sustainable and ethical sources, such as: insect ranches, butterfly farms, aviaries, or they are hand raised. All insects used in my art lived a full life and died naturally.
