A magnificent Eyed Hawk-moth in a handmade clear glass box frame, allowing you to see both sides of the specimen. All of our frames are handmade with precision in the UK meaning we have full control over the process.
The eyespots are not visible while the moth is in resting position. They are displayed when the moth feels threatened, potential startling a predator, giving the moth a chance to escape.
