The Jewelled Nawab (Polyura delphis) is a striking butterfly with pale green to bluish wings marked by bold black striping and shimmering iridescent highlights. Its angular wing shape and long, forked tails give it a sharp, distinctive appearance.
Native to Asia, Polyura delphis is found across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It is commonly associated with tropical forests and woodland habitats.
Interesting Fact:
This species is known for its rapid, darting flight and is often attracted to fermenting fruit, tree sap, and animal droppings rather than flowers, a trait common among Polyura butterflies.
This specimen is preserved, 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.
