Bring a lovely piece of regional natural history into your home with this Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis), sustainably sourced right from Georgia. Featuring large, soft yellow wings mottled with shades of purplish-brown, this large moth is mounted against a deep black velvet background that emphasizes its unique, leaf-like camouflage. The display is set in an elegant gold frame with ornate, detailed corners and comes equipped with both a hanging hook and an easel back for easy styling on a shelf or a wall.
Fun Facts: Imperial Moths are incredible examples of survival through disguise. When resting on the forest floor, they look exactly like a scattered, decaying autumn leaf. Even more surprising is their adult life cycle: as adults, they have entirely non-functional mouthparts and do not eat at all. They live for only about a week, relying completely on the energy they stored up as caterpillars to find a mate and lay eggs.
Please note: This piece features an upcycled, thrifted frame. Minor imperfections on the frame or glass may be present due to age and character. All pieces are carefully cleaned and repaired while preserving their vintage character.
