The Madagascan Sunset Moth (ニシキオオツバメガ, Nishikiootsubamega) is a bug that was introduced in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It appears during the day unlike the Moth and Atlas Moth, which are nocturnal.
Donating to the museum
As with all fish and bugs in the Animal Crossing series, the Madagascan sunset moth can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will also tell the player a little bit about the donation. Regarding the Madagascan Sunset Moth:
In New Horizons
When asked about the bug, Blathers will say the following:
"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 kaleidoscope 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."
The Madagascan sunset moth can be found in the butterfly room.
