Butterfly #20: Emerald Swallowtail (Papilio palinurus)

Found in Southeast Asia, this butterfly gets its striking green colour from its scales which are arranged to reflect light in a certain way. This causes it to appear blue in certain lighting.

Okay, another animal I have is a mix of an Orchid Mantis and a Papilio Palinurus Butterfly! (I think that's how it's spelt-)

Description: Mantis body, butterfly wings. Though the Papilio Palinurus butterfly has green wings, the color is changed to match the body of the insect, so it has the colors of an orchid mantis instead. Depending on the gender, it may look different (Though, there aren’t any males left anyway, so you won't see the other look besides books). A common species if you are in the right environment, seen often and is sometimes even pets! All males were wiped out from some illness that only affected them. The females have evolved so that they can mate with other females, but they can only produce females. One common place they live in are in the pink forests, as their body matches the pink aesthetic. (Just search up orchid mantis and a Papilio Palinurus butterfly and you get what I mean.)  

This one is probably one of my favorites

Ahh ye!!!!! Love the lesbian mantises!!

I really liked this song!

The guitar notes are yellow circles. The whistling is a fluid white shape with blue edges. The singer's voice is gray that fades into white at the bottom. The beat in the background is yellow and slightly hazy looking.

todays lepidopteran of the day is the emerald swallowtail (Papilio palinurus)!

this beautiful butterfly, which comes from southeast asia, seems to shift color in the light due to special microstructures in its wings.
