Blackburn's Sphinx Moth Kaleidoscope Biodegradable Phone Case

Meet the goth cousin of the butterfly: The Blackburn's Sphinx Moth.

This biodegradable phone case brings gentle, sustainable style to your everyday carry. Made from plant-based PLA and bamboo fiber, it features a soft-matte, frosted surface and a subtle natural scent that fades into the background over time. A repeating kaleidoscope pattern of the Blackburn's Sphinx Moth in crisp black sits against a warm, natural-beige material, giving the case an artisanal, geometric look that celebrates Hawaii's largest native insect.

While most people obsess over colorful daytime butterflies, this design honors the monochromatic majesty of the night shift. It’s elegant, slightly eerie, and scientifically accurate—turning a creature that most people swat away into a piece of wearable (and compostable) art.

The flexible, impact-absorbing design slips on easily and maintains precise cutouts for ports and cameras. Magsafe® wireless charging compatibility lets your device charge without removing the case, while vibrant printing ensures the pattern stays clear and distinct. Packaged with eco-conscious materials, it feels like a small, thoughtful step toward a cleaner shoreline every time you reach for your phone.

A portion of every purchase goes to nonprofits working in conservation—because these giant moths need their native trees back, and we need them to keep the night sky wild.

Endangered Stats

• Status: Endangered. In 2000, it became the very first Hawaiian insect to be placed on the Federal Endangered Species List.

• The Lazarus Effect: It was believed to be extinct in the late 1970s, only to be "rediscovered" in 1984 on Maui. It’s a survivor.

• The Size: It is Hawaii's largest native insect, with a wingspan up to 5 inches. It’s basically a small bird with a "goth" aesthetic.

• The Struggle: Its native host plant, the ‘Aiea tree, is disappearing due to dry forests being cleared. The moths are now forced to lay eggs on invasive plants, which isn't ideal but keeps the lineage alive.

Perfect For

• Entomologists and night owls who know that moths are just butterflies with more mystery.

• People who love lamps (and want to protect the creatures that love them too).

• Minimalists who love a natural, earthy, and artisanal aesthetic.

• Anyone who believes that even the smallest (or largest) bugs deserve a chance to postpone the myth.

Wear the rare. Protect your phone, and postpone the myth.
