The Princely Tiger Moth: these strikingly colorful moths can be found in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras
Tumblr media
The princely tiger moth (Chrysocale principalis) has a unique, almost rainbow-like appearance, with iridescent/metallic scales that produce a broad range of colors across the wings, thorax, and abdomen. These colors can include shades of pink, gold, green, blue, and purple.
Tumblr media
This species is particularly colorful, but aposomatic coloration in general is a trait that occurs in many different species of tiger moth; the moths often store toxic and/or unpalatable compounds within their own bodies as a way to discourage predators from eating them, and their brightly-colored markings then warn the predators to stay away.
Moths are often viewed as the boring, more plainly-colored version of butterflies, but they are much more diverse, more interesting, and more colorful than people generally realize -- as the princely tiger moth (and many other species) clearly demonstrates.
Tumblr media
Chrysocale regalis: this species belongs to the same genus, and has a similarly colorful appearance
Tumblr media
Chrysocale ignita: also known as the ignita wasp moth

SKYTOBER 2022 ILLUSTRATION SERIES.
WEEK 1 (OCTOBER 1ST - OCTOBER 8TH).
X | WEEK 2 | WEEK 3 | WEEK 4
This was my first time ever participating in Skytober!  Despite the daily prompts, I somehow managed to finish everything!  I kept them as sketches so that this would be feasible.  Here is the collection of the first week.
Character captions below the cut!
01 ABYSS: “I know it’s strange for your master to be looking out for us ... With all that is happening, I believe that it is best that we look out for each other, too.” TAPUSHEA, the overseeing goddess of the water, makes an unlikely alliance with the servant of her karmic opposite, The Leviathan.
02 BLOOM: Kidde adorns herself in blossoming attire as spring draws near.  She sips her tea in pure bliss as a gentle breeze passes in the air.
03 MANTA: “Your party Krill doesn’t have a thing on my singing manta! BEHOLD - The melody of DJ MANTA RAYE!”  Once close friends with Dj KRILLIN’, DJ Manta Raye stays as a strong opposing force with her singing Manta, LUXIS!
04 CAMPING: The Elders have decided to go camping, where the Valley twins attempt to tell a scary legend of those who feast on the people of Light ... INCLUDING ELDERS!  Miss Forest is not phased at all.
05 SHATTERING: “WITHIN YOUR HATE FOR THE WORLD COMES GREAT STRENGTH. CALL UPON ME, AND I WILL GRANT YOU THE TRUE THRONE YOU RIGHTEOUSLY DESERVE.”
06 BABY JELLYFISH: Tapushea’s arch angel enjoys time with her infant subjects.
07 SKY KIDS: “I’m sorry, Kidde.  I failed you.” Noye has come to rescue Kidde from Morvannah’s violent grasp, but he’s a bit too late.
08 TEA PARTY: As the sun bathes all within its amber hue, the children laugh and banter among the calming water at the beachside.  Tapushea’s joy manifests in the form of seashell blessings washing up upon the shore.
