Papilio memnon

Papilio memnon is nicknamed "the Great Mormon." It is distinguished by its impressive wingspan, which can reach 15 cm, and the elegant lines of its wings. This species is famous for its sexual dimorphism and mimicry. Females display an incredible variety of shapes and colors, some even mimicking poisonous butterflies to deceive predators. Males, on the other hand, sport a more understated appearance. Viewed from its dorsal side, it reveals its elegance with its velvety black, light spots, and metallic blue sheen.
