NOW: Red Lacewing PUPAE
Cethosia biblis, commonly referred to as the Red Lacewing or the Lacewing Butterfly, is a striking butterfly species native to Southeast Asia. Its vibrant appearance makes it a favorite among butterfly enthusiasts and researchers alike. The wings of the Red Lacewing are predominantly black with intricate, fiery red-orange patterns and elegant black veins, giving them a lace-like appearance. This intricate coloration serves as both camouflage and a warning to predators, as the butterfly is toxic due to its larval host plants, Passionvine plants, containing poisonous compounds. Red Lacewings primarily inhabit tropical and subtropical regions but are very easy to care for at home.
