Urania Moths
Green-banded Urania (Urania leilus) - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
Most people are surprised to learn that these are not butterflies but actually moths. Not only do they break the stereotype that moths are dully colored but they're also day active and migrate like some butterflies are known to do! More so their antennae are not obviously feathered like that of many moth species. Quite common in Yasuni during my brief visit.
