Urania ripheus FEMALE -
 
This day-flying moth is said to be the most magnificent of all insects in the world! Its iridescent wings are unrivaled in the animal kingdom. And it's metallic - spectacular on both sides!! Its colors are structural and will appear to change right before your eyes depending on the incidence of light that shines on its wings! Both sides are shown here in photographs. It's hard to tell which side is more beautiful! The side with more black color is the topside, and photo with more vibrant "broad" sunset colored area is the underside.
