Tomorrow we will learn about, and see, the largest butterflies in the world!

4 Buru Opalescent Birdwing

Wingspan: 7.9 in
Distribution Area: Buru, Indonesia
Conservation Status: Vulnerable
Prominent Colors: Yellow, black

This magnificent butterfly is found exclusively on the Indonesian island of Buru, and primarily inhabits altitudes from 1,300 to 1,600 meters. Buru Opalescent Birdwings sport white highlights along the veins in their wings, similar to those of the Rippon’s Birdwing. This butterfly is sometimes commercially bred in Indonesia specifically for collections, but specimens are still quite rare.

Did you know?
Specimen collection and habitat destruction via logging are the primary threats to the Buru Opalescent Birdwing population.

3 African Giant Swallowtail

Wingspan: 9.1 in (23 cm)
Distribution Area: Africa
Conservation Status: Data deficient
Prominent Colors: Orange

Gorgeous, mottled brown, black, and orange wing patterns make the African Giant Swallowtail especially memorable, and its high levels of toxicity make it unusually resistant to predators. These butterflies primarily inhabit moist, tropical broadleaf forests, lingering around the canopy, and are distributed throughout Central Africa. The males, which are larger than the females, can often be found feeding on nectar in groups.

Did you know?
African Giant Swallowtails lay single eggs to begin the next life cycle when they reproduce.
