Faux entomology, embroidered Comet Moth.
The comet moth (Argema mittrei) or Madagascan moon moth is an African moth, native to the rain forests of Madagascar. The male has a wingspan of twenty centimeters and a tail span of fifteen centimeters, making it one of the world's largest silk moths. The adult moth cannot feed and only lives for 4 to 5 days. Although endangered in the wild due to habitat loss, the Comet moth is being successfully bred in captivity.
This precious moth has been lovingly made by hand. He has embroidered wings, vibrant hand painted underwings, hair like antennae and fluffly legs.
- He will arrive lovingly displayed in a professional magnetic closure gift box with a Homemade Trap logo hand stamped onto the lid (all of my packaging is 100% recyclable and eco friendly)
- The moth is made from Calico, Cotton Thread, Synthetic Faux Fur, Watercolour Paint, Wire, Glass Eye Pins, Synthetic Toy Filling
- Dimensions 19cm (Width) x 16.5cm (Length) x 4.5cm (Depth)
I don't use any templates, so each piece is completely unique.
