  • 9 Colorful Butterflies Black Brass Globe

    €590.01

    These very colorful insects have a large nose: they are Fulgores. Among the hundreds of species of these distant cousins of bedbugs, some even have a nose larger than their body (Fulgora Lateraria). We still don't really know what this appendage is for, which seems to be the fusion of its antennae. Some have peanut patterns, others thorns... We never tire of their colors from India to Thailand, where these 9 specimens come from.
