Madagascan Sunset Moth

People often mistake this stunning creature for a butterfly at first glance. The Madagascan Sunset Moth displays a riot of colors including greens, reds, blues, and purples on its wings. Unlike most moths, it flies during daylight hours. Its wings create a stained-glass effect when sunlight passes through them. This beautiful species faces threats from habitat loss on its native island, where much of the original forest has disappeared.
