Description
This portrait was taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens of Columbus, Ohio. It is a Papilio palinurus: pretty large butterfly known by the common name of an Emerald Swallowtail. It is also known as the Banded Peacock or Emerald Peacock butterfly.
These beautiful butterflies are native to the primary forests of southeast Asia. The species gets its name from the bright emerald green band that runs across each of its dark greenish-black wings. The underside is black with orange and white spots along the hindwing edges. A wing span of 10 cm classifies the Emerald Swallowtail as a medium to large sized butterfly.
I really appreciate you taking time to look at my artwork. Thank you so much!
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
