The Hamadryas amphinome, commonly known as the Red Cracker Butterfly, is a striking species in the family Nymphalidae. Found in Central and South America, it is known for its bright red and black patterned wings and its unique ability to produce a cracking sound, often used for communication or territorial displays. This butterfly prefers tropical forests and sunny open areas. Adults feed on fermenting fruit, while larvae feed on plants from the Euphorbiaceae family. Its bold coloration and behaviors make it a fascinating species in its natural habitat.

For over 75 years, Riker display mount boxes have served the academic and professional science industry. A clear glass window in the cover provides an easy view of the specimen within. The polyester batting included in each unit helps cushion the stored specimen while a patented pin locking system keeps the box closed and secure. Named after Dr. Albert Joyce Riker, a truly brilliant mind and titan of the science world, this would become his most famous contribution to the scientific community. His most significant contributions were in forestry, and in the later years of his career, in helping to organize international quarantines to restrict the spread of plant diseases. Just goes to show that no one can predict what they will be remembered for.
