Butterfly:
California Dog Face Wings |
 |
|
The wing we are offering is that of a male
Southern Dogface (Colias
Cesonia) butterfly, the female have almost totally
solid yellow wings similar to Sulphur butterflies
(Coliadinae family).
Sulphur and white butterflies (Family:
Pieridae) are usually yellow or orange and
some females come all white. An example of some
of the sub-species of Sulfur
butterflies are the Orange Sulphur (Colias eurytheme),
the Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice), and the
Dainty Sulphur (Nathalis iole). "Dogface" markings
on Southern Dog Face and California Dog Face
can be found on the wings of the males of this
species and it is truly remarkable how closely
their wings resemble the face of a dog with a
yellow "dog's
head and snout" surrounded
by a black "eye". Females tend to have
a similar wing pattern, but with duller and more
diffuse black areas with seasonal variations:
their hind wing undersides turn yellow in the wet
season of summer and during the dry season of winter
their wings become mottled in black
and pink.
The problem
with real butterflies is that when alive Southern
Dogface are fast fliers, and can be
very difficult, if not next to impossible, to catch.
Electric butterflies, on the other hand, are very
easy to catch and will stay put!
If you're looking for an unusual gift idea, surprise
your friends and loved ones by installing a dragonfly
magnet or electric moving dragonfly in a place
that they won't miss being surprised and amazed
when seeing it for the first time. It is very easy
to change insect wings for
a different look since all of the electronic butterfly
and moth wings are replaceable. Our spare wings
are as bright as real Dogface butterfly wings and
are fade resistant and UV resistant at the same
time. |
