Cinnabar Moths Are Perfectly Named For Their Striking Red And Black Looks

Maybe it's because moths are usually out at night when the lighting isn't the best (to say the least), but somehow I've always gotten it into my head that moths are the brown and boring ones, and butterflies are the pretty ones. I'm happy to be learning that such an assumption is completely wrong. I mean, if you had asked me to identify this insect with vivid red and black wings, I probably would have defaulted to butterfly.
