The Madagascar Sunset Moth

Butterflies often steal the spotlight, but moths are every bit as fascinating—and in my opinion, some are even more spectacular.

One of my favorite species is the Madagascan Sunset Moth (Urania ripheus). With its iridescent greens, blues, oranges, reds, and purples, it looks almost too beautiful to be real. Every time I paint one, I’m reminded that nature is the greatest artist of all.
