Madagascan Sunset Moth Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a Madagascan sunset moth! Wow, you're not from around here!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The Madagascan sunset moth is said to be the most beautiful moth in the world...a sentiment even I can't deny.

  While most moths are nocturnal, this one flutters about during the day, making good use of the light.

  That is, when the daylight reflects off its wings, a keleidoscrope of colors are revealed.

  Oh! Eh...too bad it has such startling red feet as a caterpillar. I might have found it almost tolerable otherwise. Almost but not quite.
