The Actias Ningpoana moth has an incredibly short lifespan of just a few days. This is a result of lacking functional mouthparts, relying on the energy it takes on as a caterpillar. The species have small heads and densely hairy bodies.
Adult Actias Ningpoana moths have a typical wingspan of 5.1-5.9 inches (13-15cm).

| How to display | This frame comes with a single brass hanging hook which can be screwed into the rear of the frame, allowing you to hang it on a wall. Alternatively, the frame is deep enough to stand freely by itself on a shelf. |
| Where to display | To preserve the colours of your specimen, it's best not to display your frame in direct sunlight. You should also avoid areas of high moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens. |
| About our frames | All of our frames are handmade and feature mitred joints. The hardwood we use is of a very dark brown colour, with visible woodgrain. All of our frames use real glass. |
| Postage and packaging | All frames are bubble wrapped before posting. As an independent, family-run business, we try to re-use as much packaging as possible to limit our impact on the environment. Postage and packaging is charged at £4.99 per order. |
