A soft blend of hot pink and lemon yellow, this fuzzy moth looks like candy but lives in maple trees.
Often mistaken for a butterfly, it flaunts iridescent greens, blues, oranges, and blacks—a kaleidoscope in motion.
Known as the “Tamamushi” beetle in Japan, its metallic green, gold, and blue hues shimmer like polished gems.
Tiny but striking, the male displays brilliant blues, reds, and oranges in courtship dances that rival peacocks.
Its armor-like body glows in fluorescent green, purple, and gold, often appearing unreal to the eye.
Camouflaged as an orchid flower, it flaunts shades of lavender, pink, and white, fooling both predators and prey.
Often overlooked, this common fly stuns up close with its electric blue and metallic green body.
