Description
The framed Sunset Moth collection features a stunning day-flying moth from Madagascar mounted displaying the bottom (versal) and top (dorsal side). The wings were widely used in jewelry in Victorian England. Most of the wing scales are actually unpigmented and covered with many clear scales with the multicolored appearance occurring due to the structural components of the scales and the movement of the wing.
