Ragadia luzonia<\/h3>\n

\u00a0is a species of butterfly in the butterfly family Bumblebee (Nymphalidae<\/i>). This species is one of the butterflies commonly called ringed butterflies.

belongs to the family of day butterflies Uraniidae<\/i>. Its colouring makes it one of the most impressive and attractive butterflies ever. It is found year-round in Madagascar, where it has earned the nickname Madagascar sunset butterfly from the natives. Its colouration is not due to pigments, as with most butterflies, but to the interference of light in the scales that cover its entire wings. The butterfly has only just survived the catastrophic fires in Madagascar, but thanks to breeders its population is returning to normal. The wingspan is 110 mm. It was first described by British entomologist Dru Drury in 1773.<\/p>\n
