Luminasa Noctura, meaning 'night light' in Latin, is a bioluminescent butterfly endemic to tropical rainforest canopies. With a wingspan up to 10 cm, it displays intricate orange, yellow, and purple wing patterns, scalloped asymmetric margins, and iridescent eye spots. The slender body weighs up to 5 grams, enabling agile undulating flight. Its blue-green (420-490 nm) bioluminescence emanates from wing veins and scale clusters, providing soft illumination at night. Thriving in warm (20-30°C), humid canopies, it exhibits rhythmic flight for predator evasion and communication. Belonging to the Chromaflorae Lepidoptera cluster of 20 bioluminescent species, L. Noctura is rare and protected, underscoring tropical biodiversity and conservation importance.
