One of my favourite Australian butterflies! Very common in leafy suburbs and bushland alike.

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.

The Kaiser-i-Hind (Teinopalpus imperialis), is a rare species of swallowtail butterfly found from Nepal and north India east to north Vietnam. The common name literally means "emperor of India". The green iridescence of the wings has been found to be due to three-dimensional photonic structure of the scales and is the subject of much research. (Photo 1, 2).

Photos from a failed raising

I collected this specimen off our lemon tree. I’m not entirely sure how it died, but it’s possible disease got the better of it.

This species is often called the Orchard Swallowtail, as they feed on trees in the Citrus genus (lemons, oranges, tangerines, etc.). There’s a few swallowtail butterfly caterpillars that feed on Citrus, but this species is the most common sight for me.

Papilio aegeus

A Colorful Bush and a Beautiful Butterfly Make Spring Wonderful

A Colorful Bush and a Beautiful Butterfly Make Spring Wonderful shows readers a gorgeous zebra swallowtail butterfly as it feeds on a clump of butterfly weed. To the author/artist these species and their colors are a perfect representation of spring.

Spring Complexion I suspect that anyone who loves nature loves springtime. Early spring is a time for renewal and rebirth, while later in the spring the theme seems to be amazing color. Once wildflowers begin to bloom butterflies, colorful moths, and insects start to re-emerge and out come the birds and other wildlife. Add to all of that warming temperature and gentle breezes and all in all, you…

wanna see a magic trick? 🪄🎩

#YEAYYYY i like drawing this guy #now that i think abt it i cant remember the last time i saw a furry with tattoos.... ive decided not to think too hard about how it would #work but i think i like the idea of him getting playing card tats on his ears would be cool ^_^ #apparently anthro species on furth include birds and mammals and i think fish amphibians and reptiles are non anthro #so instead of whipping out doves he would make white butterflies appear out of his hat :o) #its sort of meant to tie in with the ruffles on his shirt resembling a butterfly!!! i thought id make it close to a swallowtail so #that way its easy to see at a glance. i think that would look really cool irl #he looks a lot like joker p5 now that i look at it... it wasnt intentional but the red eyes and black messy hair is obvious huh #oh but the way his hair curls in the front isnt strictly in one direction just so that its easy to draw lol. its meant to curl around his #hat brim a little bc i thought it would look cool #my art #myart #my oc #oc #sleight #laika's comet #laika's comet oc #fan character #furry #furry art #fur
