Framed Blue Bottle Butterfly (Graphium sarpedon) – Real Specimen Display
Add a sleek and vibrant piece of Asian forest elegance to your collection with this professionally framed Blue Bottle (Graphium sarpedon), also known as the Common Bluebottle or Blue Triangle.
This striking swallowtail is instantly recognizable by its deep black wings crossed by a broad, luminous turquoise-blue to greenish-blue band that runs from the forewing tip across to the hindwing. The clean, high-contrast pattern is finished with elegant, pointed tails, creating a fast and refined appearance both in flight and on display. Wingspan typically measures 70–90 mm (about 2.8–3.5 inches).
Native to forests and wooded areas across East, South, and Southeast Asia (and extending into parts of Australia), the Blue Bottle is a swift, active flier often seen mud-puddling in groups. It is one of the most widespread and admired members of the Graphium swordtail group.
