CHARAXES JASIUS

Charaxes jasius, the Two-tailed Pasha, is a powerful butterfly of the Mediterranean region and Africa. Its large wings combine dark brown, orange and pale markings, while each hindwing bears two short tails. The principal larval host in the Mediterranean is the strawberry tree, Arbutus unedo. Adults are strong, territorial fliers and are often more attracted to fermenting fruit, tree sap and other sugary sources than to flowers. Their robust build and rapid flight are characteristic of the genus Charaxes, a group especially diverse in Africa.

Presented as a refined naturalist plate, this art print showcases its rich orange wings, dark borders, and distinctive tailed silhouette. A unique piece for nature lovers, collectors of scientific illustration, and interiors seeking elegance with meaning.
