Urania leilus
Spotted near the Napo River in the Amazon, Ecuador.
Nice, we have Urania fulgens, they migrated by the millions some years, 4 years ago in two hours we stimated 300 000 going across a soccer..
Beautiful moth! Here's another site about them. http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Ama...
It was pretty big too, about 15 cm across. It sort of looks like a zebra swallowtail to me, but with nicer colors!
