Lumifera Nocturna, named from Latin for 'light' and 'night,' is a rare bioluminescent butterfly of the Aurorae Lepidoptera cluster, active in low-light tropical rainforest canopies at 15-30°C. It has a delicate 10 cm wingspan, lightweight body under 2 grams, and scalloped wings with subtle tail-like hindwing extensions. The translucent blue wings feature vibrant orange and yellow phosphorescent patterns along veins and edges, emitting light between 420-490 nm, likely used for communication and predator deterrence. Its slender body supports rhythmic gliding. This nocturnal species exemplifies evolutionary adaptations for survival and bioluminescence in dense forest ecosystems, belonging to a group of ten specialized light-emitting species.
