Eclectus parrots are unique and beautiful. With their wildly colourful differences, the male and female Eclectus look so different from each other that they were mistaken for different species for the longest time! Red and blue for the feisty females and a rainbow of green, blue and red on the mellow males, Eclectus are well-known for being lovely birds with lovely personalities -- but of course, like all large parrots, they need much love and attention to truly shine! Bring home some of that colour and attract some attention for yourself with this charming pair!

The artwork presents a detailed illustration of two IO moth adults, one male and one female, highlighting the marked differences between the sexes, known as sexual dimorphism. The design showcases the unique characteristics and anatomical distinctions that set these moths apart, offering an educational insight into the world of entomology and insect diversity. This illustration serves as an informative and visually striking representation of the IO moth species.

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage; the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage. Joseph Forshaw, in his book Parrots of the World, noted that the first European ornithologists to see eclectus parrots thought they were of two distinct species. Large populations of this parrot remain, and they are sometimes considered pests for eating fruit off trees. Some populations restricted to relatively small islands are comparably rare. Their ...
