Luminosa Mirabilis, a bioluminescent butterfly species in the Chromaflorae Lepidoptera cluster, exhibits a wingspan of 0–10 cm and body mass of 0–2 g, enabling rhythmic gliding flight. Its wings display asymmetrical patterns in deep blues, purples, oranges, and yellows with spotting and veining creating spectral iridescence. Bioluminescence emits predominantly at 420–490 nm as a blue-green glow along wing veins and body edges via specialized photocytes, facilitating communication and predator deterrence. Native to tropical rainforest canopies, it thrives in 20–30°C, with crepuscular activity and a rare stable population. L. Mirabilis enriches the 20-species bioluminescent Lepidoptera assemblage, offering insights into neotropical biofluorescent signaling and arboreal ecological niches.
