Urania boisduvalii

Urania boisduvalii is a day-flying moth of the family Uraniidae.

A genetic analysis of Urania moths gave rise to a phylogenetic tree which places U. boisduvalii as sister to the in-group that includes U. fulgens spp.

Computer generated migratory routes predict that migratory groups fly mainly along the western and eastern coast lines, because of plant distributions.

[6] The larvae will feed on the leaves, but prefer the fruit of O.

contain compounds that are toxic to most herbivores, but U. boisduvalli caterpillars can tolerate and metabolize the toxins.
