15 x 8

A vibrant-colored moon moth glows with fluorescent hues that glow in black light, its wide crescent wings shimmering in spring green, magenta, and pearlescent as they catch the light. Long, ribbonlike tails fade from neon green to a magenta tip giving it an otherworldly elegance. Its soft, emerald body and delicately feathered coral-tinted antennae add to its dreamlike beauty, making the moth appear like a living shard of moonlit stained glass drifting through the night.

This piece looks beautiful in daylight and glows with unworldly wonder in black light. The moons on the wings glow in the dark in no light. A magical moth for a magical garden.
