Behold the beauty of a stunning glass dome housing five Daphnis nerii, commonly known as the Army Green moth. This large hawk-moth species can be found in expansive regions across Africa, Asia, and Hawaii. With its migratory nature, it gracefully travels to parts of eastern and southern Europe, including Turkey, and on rare occasions, even reaches western Europe, including England, and extends as far north as Scotland during the summer season.
The specimens within this collection were carefully sourced from Egypt, adding to their allure. The unique coloration and intricate patterns of the Daphnis nerii make them a truly captivating species. Their vibrant presence adds a touch of fascination and wonder to any decorative setting.
