Luminosa Aetherius, named for its luminous glow and ethereal habitat, is a bioluminescent butterfly with a delicate wingspan up to 10 cm and slightly tattered translucent margins. It displays intense blue luminescence along veins and edges, with radiant orange patches centrally located on wings, emitting light within 450-495 nm. The slender body weighs under 2 grams and has long, fine antennae. Active nocturnally, its bioluminescence likely aids in intraspecific communication and predator deterrence. Inhabiting tropical rainforest canopies at 15-25°C, it performs rhythmic gliding among dense foliage. Taxonomically, it belongs to the Lumina Nocturna cluster of 100 bioluminescent species, characterized by unique photophores and light-emission behaviors. Despite rarity, populations are stable, offering ecological insights into Lepidoptera bioluminescence and nocturnal adaptation.
