Brahmaea Wallichii - Owl Moth - 25 x 25cm

The Brahmaea Wallichii, also known as the Owl Moth or Brahmin Moth, is one of the most extraordinary and rare moth species in the world. The female of this species is particularly admired for her impressive size and intricate wing patterns. With a wingspan reaching 18 to 20 centimeters, this moth commands attention with her bold, earthy coloration and mesmerizing designs that resemble the feathers of an owl — a natural camouflage that protects her in the wild.

Native to the Himalayan regions and parts of Southeast Asia, the Brahmaea Wallichii thrives in dense forests and mountainous habitats. Nocturnal by nature, this species is most active at night, when its subtle yet intricate wing patterns help it blend seamlessly with tree bark and foliage. The “owl-eye” markings on the wings not only provide camouflage but also serve to deter predators.

Each specimen in our collection is unique, with natural variations in color tones, patterning, and size. The images shown are for reference only, as no two moths are exactly the same. These differences make each individual specimen a truly one-of-a-kind piece of nature’s artistry.

To preserve the striking beauty of the Brahmaea Wallichii female, every specimen is meticulously mounted behind anti-UV plexiglass. This premium material protects the moth from harmful UV rays, ensuring its colors and fine details remain intact for many years.
