The Sunset Moth from Madagascar, in my opinion...
Perching with wings folded up and being active during the day are two butterfly-like behaviors of the Madagascar sunset moth [Chrysiridia rhipheus]. Moths tend to perch with their wings out flat. They also tend to be active during the night.
Omphalea spp shrubs and trees are the specific and sole host plants for the Madagascar sunset moth [Chrysiridia rhipheus] in the caterpillar stage. The plant is a member of the Euphorbia family. Worldwide, there are 17 different species of Omphalea. The four that are native to Madagascar all may be host plants, and therefore food sources for, the caterpillar stage of the Madagascar sunset moth:1. Omphalea ankaranensis, shrub of the limestone karst areas of northern Madagascar;2. O. palmata Leandri, shrub of western Madagascar;3. O. occidentalis, tree of the western part of the island;4. O. oppositifolia [Willdenow], tree of the eastern rainforest.
White and whitish-yellow flowers are the specific and sole nectar sources for the Madagascar sunset moth [Chrysiridia rhipheus]. Specifically, the moth favors the following:The whitish-yellow flowers of the tea plant [Camellia sinensis]; andThe white flowers of the following:Cussonia vantsilana;Eucalyptus saligna;Indian almond [Terminalia catappa];Loquat [Eriobotriya japonica]; andMango [Mangifera indica].Interestingly enough, the moth absolutely shuns the white flowers of the Omphalea oppositifolia [Willdenow], which is one of four [4] host plants and food sources for the moth in the caterpillar stage.
