Kallima inachus verso

$59.99

The brilliance of the dead leaf butterfly’s disguise is the fact that it hasn’t just nailed the coloring of a dead leaf, it’s got the shape, the midrib, and even the veins figured out, and it all comes together so perfectly, it puts this leaf like katydid to shame.

The Orange Oak leaf or Dead Leaf butterfly is a nymphalidae found in Asia from India to Japan. With it’s wings closed it looks like a dry dead leaf with dark veins. No two dead leaf butterflies are ever the same this makes them even more unique. This natural history display is a spectacular example of camouflage in the insect world.
