ORIGIN Peru

FRAME 20x20xD5cm Made from recycled products.

DESCRIPTION AKA peanut head bug. Specimens can grow to 8 cm. Its mouth is like a straw; it can not bite, so all it can do is suck juices from plants. In the rain forest from Mexico to Argentina where this bug is found, there are so many things that want to eat the Peanut-head Bug that it needs a lot of defenses. Scientists think that the head is supposed to imitate a lizard’s head, a complex anti-predator scheme the bug uses. The Peanut-head Bug has large spots on its under wings that look like large eyes when the bug spreads its wings. If these don’t scare away predators, the bug releases a skunk-like spray.

Other common names: Peanut bug, Peanut-headed lanternfly and Alligator bug

COMES IN RECYCLED CARDBOARD GIFT BOX

Frame ready to hang. The back of the frame has care instructions and comes in its own gift box made of recycled materials. All our butterflies are common abundant species and no permits are required.
