Luminosa Papilioradiantus, meaning 'radiant luminous butterfly,' is a bioluminescent species in the Aurorae Lepidoptera cluster. It has a delicate 10 cm wingspan with translucent wings displaying a gradient of bioluminescent colors from blue to violet and pink (450-495 nm emission). The slender 0-2 g body supports agile hovering in tropical rainforest canopies at 20-30°C. Wing edges are scalloped for aerodynamic and visual signaling, with bioluminescence concentrated along veins and margins, aiding communication and predator deterrence. This species feeds on nectar and attracts mates within dense foliage. Classified among 500 bioluminescent Lepidoptera, L. Papilioradiantus is vulnerable due to habitat loss, representing an evolutionary adaptation combining wing structure and luminescence, vital for understanding lepidopteran diversity and bioluminescence.
