The Glassy Bluebottle (Graphium cloanthus) is a striking swallowtail with dark wings overlaid by translucent, glass-like blue-green bands and markings. The semi-transparent quality of the wing pattern gives this species its distinctive “glassy” appearance.
Native to Asia, Graphium cloanthus is found across South and Southeast Asia, including India, Thailand, and surrounding regions. It is commonly associated with forested habitats, woodland edges, and areas near streams.
Interesting Fact:
This species is often seen flying rapidly through forest clearings, and the translucent scaling on its wings creates a shimmering effect in sunlight that enhances its glass-like look.
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.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
