Swallowtail Papilio

The Swallowtail is one of Europe's most iconic butterflies. Its bright yellow wings, broadly edged in black, are dotted with bluish spots and highlighted by a characteristic red eyespot near the tail. Here, it reveals all the graphic elegance of its wing pattern and the slenderness of its silhouette, a true classic of European insect life.

Presented in a hermetically sealed glass-fronted box, it is enhanced by a black frame on a white background. Each specimen is carefully identified by a calligraphed label, indicating its Latin name and origin. A brass plaque engraved with the name Deyrolle certifies the authenticity of this unique piece, from our collections.
