Its iridescent wings are colorful and metallic on both sides. These bright colors are structural and will appear to change before your eyes depending on the incidence of light, meaning the angle of the light as it hits a surface and bounces to your eyes. In their larval stage, these moths only feed on the toxic leaves of plants of the genus \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOmphalea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOnce eaten by the caterpillar, the toxins are stored in the body through the pupal and adult moth stages.
