The Most Beautiful Butterfly

Sunset Moth from Madagascar
Unlike many other moths, the colour of the wings does not come from pigments. The colour originates from articulate scattering and interference of light by the micro structure of the ribbon-like scales covering the moth's wings. This moth is active during the day, while most moths are active during the night. They are native to Madagascar and South America and their wings change color shifting from blue to gold-green and then to other shade of yellow as you change your viewing angle. This butterfly is the most wanted by butterflies collectors.
