Beautiful animal. Depending on the incidence of light and viewing angle, its wings sometimes shimmer greenish, sometimes bluish.

YouTuber builds his studio

I am a YouTuber and previously used a blue paper wall for filming. My living room didn't look so pretty because of it. I wanted to change that and came across Minibeast.
I took out a subscription and ordered 13 more objects. In the photos you can see how I transformed my new studio. More frames have already been ordered! :-)

Over 40 years ago I bought my first mount, an Atticus Atlas as it was supposed to be the largest moth.. Sadly it bleached in the sun and is quite pale now. This replacement is in a clear glass frame and will remain in a windowless room, so this one won't bleach.

Male Chinese Moon Moth

Another Reviewer suggested a pair of these makes a nice contrast with blue butterflies. I'm getting a pair and will put them atop my Morpho wall.

Tails keep showing up on butterflies and moths and I wonder what evolutionary advantage they convey. I think these are some of the longest tails and maybe a predator just ends up with a mouth full of tail.
