The Common Bluebottle (Graphium sarpedon) is a striking swallowtail with dark black wings crossed by a brilliant iridescent blue-green band that runs diagonally across both forewings and hindwings. This bold, luminous stripe makes it one of the most recognizable butterflies in its range.
Native to Asia, Graphium sarpedon is found across South and Southeast Asia, extending into parts of Australia. It is commonly associated with forests, woodland edges, gardens, and urban areas.
Interesting Fact:
This species is a fast and active flyer, often seen darting between flowers or along forest paths, and males frequently gather at damp ground to puddle for minerals.
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.
