The Zodiac moth is an absolutely stunning, day-flying moth which is often mistaken for a swallowtail butterfly.
They are very social and are not easily scared of humans. Generally found in the rainforests of North Queensland Australia, they spend most of their time looking for flowers to sip it's nectar.
The underside of the wing is as beautiful as the front side, with a slight touch of iridescence. A moth not to be missed for your collection.
The scientific name is Alcides odontes of the Uraniidae family..
