Also known as the Sunset moth for obvious reasons. The colours on the Madagascan sunset moth's wings are produced by the conjunction of two optical phenomena namely optical interference and inter scale reflection. It is endemic to the Island of Madagascar where large migrations are seen in certain months. The bright metallic colours are a warning to predators of their toxicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphium weiskei - \u003cspan\u003e AKA \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePurple Spotted Swallowtail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This small graphium is one of only two butterflies we have with a shade of purple, hence it is one of our most popular frames.
