Luminoflutter Aurorae, named for its aurora-like bioluminescent display, exhibits vivid orange and black tropical lepidopteran wings with iridescent blue-green highlights on margins and veins. Wings measure 0–10 cm with scalloped, asymmetrical edges aiding undulating flight. The slender, delicate body weighs up to 2 grams, adapted for agile canopy movement. Bioluminescence occurs at 470–530 nm, emitting cyan-green light on wing edges and thorax via specialized photophores. Native to tropical rainforest canopies (15–25°C), it uses slow, wave-like flights to optimize mating and territorial signals. Classified in the Fluorescentum Mystica cluster (10 bioluminescent Lepidoptera species), it faces vulnerability from deforestation. This species advances understanding of lepidopteran nocturnal bioluminescence and evolution.
