EIRA Papilio memnon Specimen Frame

Product Details

Species: Great Mormon (Papilio memnon)

Morphological Characteristics:

The Papilio memnonis one of the largest and most impressive swallowtail butterflies, renowned for its dramatic sexual dimorphism (difference in appearance between males and females).

The specimen featured in this frame is typically a female form, showcasing a unique and variable wing pattern.

The wings are predominantly dark brown to black, often exhibiting a beautiful iridescent blue or green sheen under direct light.

The hindwings lack the long, graceful tail projections seen in many other swallowtails, giving them a more robust and shield-like shape.

Characteristic markings include a series of white or pale submarginal spots and a distinct "eye-spot" or patch of colorful scaling (often red and blue) near the anal angle, serving as a defense mechanism to confuse predators.

This butterfly possesses a powerful, majestic presence, making it a stunning centerpiece for any collection.
