PHILIPPINE
LEPIDOPTERA
URANIIDAE
(Swallowtail and Scoopwing Moths)
The family Uraniidae contains both diurnal and nocturnal species. The day-flying species are usually more strikingly colored and vibrant than the nocturnal individuals. Many diurnal species also have iridescent scales and multiple tails, which often lead them to be mistaken for butterflies. In sharp contrast, the nocturnal species are generally small, pale-colored insects.
Wingspan: 12-120 mm
