Mudarri Luna Moth (Michael LaFosse)

If you look closely you will see several differences between the "Alexander Swallowtail Butterfly" and the "Mudarri Luna Moth". For example, the colouring of th moth's body is different than that of the butterfly.
But the models are quite similiar. Michael LaFosse developed a system for folding butterflies that can be varied slightly to achieve different species of butterflies. You can find out more about it in his book "Michael LaFosse's Origami Butterflies" by Richard L. Alexander & Greg Mudarri, or on the DVD "Origami Butterflies and Moths" by Origamido.

Michael LaFosse makes videos himself, and excellent ones at that. I don't really think it's necessary for me to make videos of his models, too, and don't think he'd give me permission. I haven't asked, mostly because I don't see a point in making videos of models where excellent ones exist already. You can buy his DVD on several of his butterflies at http://store.origami... - it was also available on Amazon for some time, but it seems no longer.

If you'd like to see some free sample video, check http://www.pem.org/s... - for a butterfly go to "Fold more models" in the top right corner, select "Origami Now!" and then the second video from the right. That's a video for his Alexander Swallowtail Butterfly, which is a similar design. Of course it's not the same thing, but the DVD that's for sale does include the Mudarri Luna Moth.
