I need the name of this animal?

Mods should please move to front page
This image appears to be a digitally created or highly edited depiction of a lizard with wings that resemble butterfly wings. It is not a real animal found in nature.

However, it may be inspired by real-life creatures like the Draco lizard (also known as the "flying dragon"wink, which has extendable rib-supported "wings" that allow it to glide between trees. Unlike the creature in the image, Draco lizards' wings are not colourful or butterfly-like—they are usually more muted in colour, adapted for camouflage.

The vivid colours and butterfly-like appearance in this image are artistic or fictional enhancements, likely made to attract attention or for fantasy/science fiction illustration.

How does this prove that the creation story in the Bible is false
The Bible never said the earth was created in 7 24hr days.

A day to God is like a thousand years, a d a thousands years to God is like a day. It is creationist that brought about the wrong notion of 24 hour days.

It probably took hundreds of years to create the earth or even thousands.

Did the dinosaur exist? They certainly did. They are part of God's creation! The era which they lived is gone. There are still frozen mammoths in good condition in Siberia if I'm correct. Humans with the latest DNA technology can bring these animals back. It's already been done for an extinct wolf specie.

The animal in the image is a flying lizard, specifically a species from the genus Draco, commonly known as flying dragons.
Gliding Ability:
These lizards are famous for their ability to glide between trees using wing-like membranes called patagia, which are supported by elongated ribs.
Habitat and Diet:
They are primarily arboreal, found in the forests of Southeast Asia and Southern India, and their diet consists mainly of ants and termites.
Appearance:
Draco species are typically dull-colored, but their "wings" can be brightly colored, such as the orange and black bands seen in the image, which are characteristic of males of some species like Draco volans.
Behavior:
Males are territorial and use their gliding ability to defend their territory. Females descend to the forest floor to lay eggs in a hole they dig
