Cithaerias aurorina

Almost ethereal, the Cithaerias aurorina is famous for its translucent wings with pink and orange hues. Nicknamed the "glass butterfly," it seems to vanish in flight, blending seamlessly with the light. Native to the forests of Central and South America, this species evokes fragility, transience, and an invisible beauty that reveals itself only to those who take the time to truly observe. Presented in a hermetically sealed glass-fronted box, it is enhanced by a white frame on a white background, highlighting the delicate details of its anatomy. Each specimen is carefully identified by a calligraphed label, indicating its Latin name and origin. A brass plaque engraved with the name Deyrolle certifies the authenticity of this unique piece, from our collections.
