About this Species
Pereute charops is most famous for the bright red or orange base of its wings, which it reveals only in flight or during specific displays. This warning signal is part of its complex defense strategy in the dense Peruvian scrublands.
Habitat
Highland brush and shrub forests where it can be found libating from mountain blossoms.
Sustainability First
At Kukusa, we only deal with specimens from sustainable butterfly farms in Peru. Each purchase supports local conservation efforts and rural livelihoods.
