SPECIES  Ornithoptera priamus poseidon Male ( shown dorsal side )

ORIGIN   Australia / PNG / Indonesia

FRAME  20x20xD3cm Made from recycled products.

DESCRIPTION  Bright emerald green / black / yellow wings on the underside of this AKA Priam's Birdwing. The female in contrast is a dull brown and black. This birdwing ( although not endemic ) is found in the far north in the tropical rainforests of Queensland. As larva feeds on the  poisonous Aristolochia vine it makes this butterfly unpalatable to predators. The careful conservation of its preferred habitats has ensured this butterfly is no longer endangered. This butterfly indeed can also be seen in many gardens if its food plant is provided. It is a very beautiful butterfly and one we are hoping to be able to stock all year round.

This butterfly is farmed and has been imported with permits.

 

DUE TO PERMIT RESTRICTIONS WE ARE UNABLE TO SELL THIS ITEM OUTSIDE OF AUSTRALIA.

PLEASE NOTE FOR DOMESTIC SUPPLY ONLY. Imported with CITES permit.
