It can be found through out the year on the island but has the densest population between March and April. Along with another small group of moths, the Sunset moth can be found flying during the day unlike their relatives. Due to their day time flying and striking colors are often mistaken for butterflies and help warn predators of its toxicity. The Sunset Moth is highly regarded for it's color and shimmer and still is often collected for their wings. At the height of the specimen collecting for decor and scientific research in the Victorian era the wings of the moths were also used to make jewelry. The Madagascan Sunset Moth is an orginal artwork measuring approximtaley 7 x 6.75\". Each vintage inspired artwork starts among the sketchbook pages, literred with hand writte notes and research that dive into the mytology, meaning, and stories of each of her subjects. From the sketch phase each artwork is transferred onto hot press watercolor paper to begin the stages of her process. Light layers of graphite and watercolor are then layered to create the vintage feeling that is seen. Erica Catherine dreams of her art being cherish for many years, ideally becoming heirlooms passed through generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Catherine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49365563212004,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/9794\/2316\/files\/Madagascan_Sunset_Moth_-_Original_Float_Frame.png?v=1783629863","url":"https:\/\/www.ericacatherineillustration.com\/products\/madagascan-sunset-moth-original-artwork","provider":"Erica Catherine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
