Chrysiridia rhipheus, also known as the rainbow moth or urania moth, belongs to the Uraniidae family and is endemic to Madagascar. This moth is known for its unusual surface structure of the wing scales, which shimmer in rainbow colors and give it its fascinating appearance. Although it is mainly nocturnal, it also flies during the day and is a striking specimen in the insect world due to its bright colors.
The installation of the zoological specimen in the plexiglass box was made in a German taxidermy studio.
