EIRA Papilio bianor Specimen Frame

Product Details

Species: Chinese Peacock / Great Banded Peacock (Papilio bianor)

Morphological Characteristics:

The Papilio bianor, widely known as the Chinese Peacock, is one of the most iconic and visually spectacular swallowtail butterflies in East Asia.

The wings are a deep, velvety black, serving as a perfect canvas for the iridescent greenish-blue bands that span across both the forewings and hindwings.

These metallic bands shift in color depending on the viewing angle, creating a mesmerizing "peacock" effect.

The hindwings are characterized by a pair of long, graceful tail projections and are adorned with prominent red and blue eye-spots near the anal angle, which function to distract predators.

The underside of the wings mimics a dried leaf, providing exceptional camouflage when the butterfly is at rest.

This specimen embodies a perfect blend of regal elegance and wild beauty, making it a true masterpiece for collectors.
