Sparkling Cherub - 5x4 Riker MountSparkling Cherub (Doxocopa cherubina) Wingspan: 2 1 2 2 3 4 inches Origin: South America The Sparkling Cherub (Turquoise Emperor or Cherubina Emperor) is an absolutely amazing little butterfly! Despite its size, the colors on its wings pack a huge punch. The aqua green stripes on either side are extremely iridescent and are gorgeous on their own. But here's the interesting part! Depending on the angle you view the butterfly from, you can get flashes

Not only because of the silver in its wings but because it's a winner

Both sides of the wings have rich oranges and warm ambers

the brightness and combo of blue and green are incredible

The females are also larger than the males in surface area

Origin: North America

Wingspan: 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 inches

The lemon-yellow of their wings is a bit brighter than their counterpart

they're still very much the same stunning color and pattern

Since the whites of their wings aren't entirely opaque

but all of our Flying Handkerchiefs are male to ensure a consistent product

but both shimmer like sunlit water

but definitely steals the show with the colors of an African savanna sunset
