Papilio family frame

An extraordinary framed pair of Coscinocera hercules—commonly known as the Hercules moth—showcasing the striking differences between male and female specimens. The male, smaller and darker, features long, slender tails on its wings, while the female is significantly larger and paler, making the sexual dimorphism in this species both dramatic and visually fascinating.

Endemic to New Guinea and northern Australia, the Hercules moth belongs to the Saturniidae family and is considered the largest moth in Australia and New Guinea. With a wingspan of up to 27 centimeters and a wing surface area of nearly 300 square centimeters, it holds the record for the largest documented wing area of any living insect.

The moths display a beautiful golden-brown and white coloration, highlighted by transparent “windows” on each wing. While the overall patterning remains relatively consistent between sexes, the shape and size differences provide a dynamic contrast.

This superb pair is meticulously mounted in a 60 x 60 cm black lacquered wood and glass frame, making it a stunning centerpiece for collectors and natural history enthusiasts alike.

Thysania agrippina is a species of moth in the family Erebidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1776.

The most commonly accepted English name is the "White witch". Thysania agrippina is 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 "White witch" occurs from Uruguay to Mexico. One story of the derivation of the common name: early naturalists collected specimens of birds and bats with shotguns. An enormous darting flyer high in the canopy was a tempting target. Firing a cloud of pellets at a "White witch" moth did not necessarily bring it down, however, because the body is small relative to the wing area.

Very hard to find nowadays this perfectly beautiful specimen from Peru.
