DESCRIPTION AKA rice paper or The Lucky Butterfly is a large butterfly from the family Danaidae. So named because it feeds on a poisonous host plant which makes it inedible to predators. Tree Nymphs are very large butterflies, characterised by having translucent white wings patterned with black veins, and numerous oval black spots. They are noted for their slow and very graceful flight, which gives them the appearance of white handkerchiefs floating gently on the breeze.
One of our most beautiful specimens and often used by interior designers who favour its architectual dimensions.
Ideopsis gaura perakana AKA The Smaller Wood Nymph. Crisp black and white wings on this pretty butterfly. This butterfly is more commonly found in forested hills and less seen on the plains. It has an attractive wing pattern of dark markings over a light wing base. Males are darker in colour than females and have narrower wings.
