For those of you who already have an existing
electronic moving butterfly, dragonfly or moth
Kit the
Madagascan Sunset Moth (Urania Riphaeus), a.k.a.
Uraniidae Chrysiridia riphearia, would make a wonderful
addition. Have you ever noticed that most people
believe that butterflies are beautiful and
moths are ugly? This probably because quite
a few moths have evolved to look pale gray and
colorless so that they'll blend in with their
environment. All of this prejudice against moths
will be broken once people take
one look at the Sunset Moth with its extraordinary
beauty and realize that the belief moths
are ugly couldn't be more shallow. The Sunset
Moth, also called Urania Riphaeus, are one of
the most colorful insects in the world. The
wings of this species have decorative appeal similar
to that of a peacock feathers and perhaps that
us why they are often used to
make jewelry.
The
Madagascan Sunset Moth (Urania Riphaeus) is a delicate
day flying moth and a
migratory lepidoptera that lives its life in tropical
rainforests. They are from the island of Madagascar
off the coast of Africa where
you'll find many strange and interesting creatures
as well. If you are trying to choose which moving
electronic insect to get we highly recommend the
Sunset Moth Add-on Kit for your collection. Add-on
kits need a power source to work, they come with
a "Y-plug" splitter
which enables you to string them along with another
Complete Kit. If you are going to buy an Add-on
Kit, and you don't already have a Complete Kit,
we suggest you purchase one first or
you can purchase the adapter separately as an
accessory part. To save on you usage of electrical
outlets you can string along up to three Add-on
Kits to one Complete Kit. Best of all Add-on Kits
are a little bit cheaper so you can save money
by decorating this way! |
