While the standard Astrophytum Superkabuto displays only a mosaic of extensive ± rounded white dots, the "V- TYPE" is distinguished by its different pattern, creating clear V-shaped lines that mimic the shape of fly's wings. This particular variety is also known as "ZEBRA- TYPE", "FLY'S WINGS TYPE", or "TIGER" among Thai growers. This form is rare, as less than 5% of seedlings develop the distinctive V-shaped patterns.
