Pyrops astarte (White), Unmounted, real lanternfly, entomology, insect specimen, oddity and curiosity, real winged insect

White wing Lantern-fly (Pyrops astarte) (White form) is a species of planthopper, found in Southeast Asia, and also known as Red nose lantern bugs. The unicorns of the insect world.

Please note that in the photo I have mounted/spread the wings so you can get an idea of the overall look of the lanternfly. The specimen you receive the wings will not be spread unless chosen from the dropdown. The wings are very easy to mount, they are the same as mounting butterfly or moth wings!

Most, if not all insects are hand raised or from sustainable sources such as insect farms and aviaries. People in third-world countries are able to plant mass crops that are more sustainable and profitable than natural land. They are given the motivation to maintain insect populations and their habitats. Your purchase helps fight extinction and the destruction of habitats worldwide. We do not stock or encourage the collection of endangered/threatened species.
