Its distinctive features include a lightest clay tint on the neckline and tegulae, with some of its legs being white. Torso appears to be white. The insect order Lepidoptera, which means "scaly-winged," is made up of both moths and butterflies. Thousands of tiny scales that overlap like roof tiles create the patterns and colors on their wings. [3]
