Luminosa Papilionem, named for its bioluminescent butterfly-like appearance, has expansive 10 cm leaf-like wings with intricate pale cream, soft purple, magenta, and azure patterns, featuring vein-like lines and feathered edges. Its slender body (<2 g) emits a subtle violet glow. Bioluminescence occurs at 420-490 nm, producing a bluish-purple shimmer along wing veins and body contours for communication and camouflage in dim tropical rainforest canopies. Adapted for rhythmic gliding, it flies gracefully in warm (20-30°C) arboreal environments. Classified within the Chromaflorae Lepidoptera cluster with ~50 related species, it enhances regional biodiversity, using its glow for nocturnal navigation and predator deterrence.
