Luminosa Chrysalina, named for its radiant chrysalis stage, is a bioluminescent butterfly with a 0–10 cm wingspan and body mass up to 2 g. Its elongated, leaf-like wings feature intricate veining and iridescent oranges, purples, and blues, with cryptic markings for camouflage in tropical flora. Bioluminescence occurs along wing veins and body edges, emitting a blue-green glow (470–530 nm), likely for communication or predator deterrence. Native to cool, moist tropical cloud forests at 10–20°C, it glides ethereally through dense canopies. Part of the Chromaflorae Lepidoptera cluster, known for bioluminescence and complex coloration, it is rare and threatened, emphasizing conservation needs in fragile habitats.
