Graphium agamemnon (Tailed Jay, Green Spotted Triangle)


A large tropical butterfly with a wingspan of 7-8 cm. What a spectacular looking butterfly! Apple green spots and bands of variable sizes beautifully contrast against its predominantly black upperside and fashioned in fabulous symmetry! Typical of the Swallowtail butterflies, its hindwings end with a short tail which is longer in the
female species. Absolutely gorgeous!
