Green Baron
A forest butterfly with vivid iridescent green upperside in males, while females are brownish with white markings. It has a powerful, gliding flight pattern and rarely opens its wings when settled.
Did You Know?
The brilliant green of the male is produced by microscopic structures in the wing scales rather than by any chemical pigment.
Bamboo Longhorn
A vivid metallic green longhorn beetle with a slender body and long antennae. It breeds exclusively in bamboo stems.
Did You Know?
It is so closely tied to bamboo that mass bamboo flowering and die-off events cause population booms followed by crashes.
