Description
Two Red Cracker butterflies rest against a velvet night sky, surrounded by soft peach and cream florals arranged at the base of a black ornate shadowbox frame. The contrast of their patterned wings with the delicate dried blooms turns the piece into a tiny, intricate world that feels both celestial and botanical.
Red Cracker butterflies: Hamadryas amphinome, a species known for the subtle red tones on their wings and the fine lace-like patterns across the underside. They get the name “cracker” from the clicking sound males make during flight, produced by a unique mechanism in their wings.
Scientific classification: Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Arthropoda, Class Insecta, Order Lepidoptera, Family Nymphalidae, Subfamily Biblidinae, Genus Hamadryas, Species Hamadryas amphinome.
