Native to Asia, Chilasa slateri is found in parts of South and Southeast Asia, particularly in forested and montane habitats where its host plants grow.
Interesting Fact:
This species belongs to a group of swallowtails often referred to as “windmills,” known for their slow, gliding flight and association with toxic host plants, which help deter predators.
This specimen is preserved at A1 quality, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
