Framed Great Mormon – lowii Form (Papilio memnon lowii / Papilio lowii) – Real Specimen Display
Add a large and highly distinctive piece of Southeast Asian butterfly diversity to your collection with this professionally framed Great Mormon in the lowii form (Papilio memnon lowii), also widely known as the Great Yellow Mormon or Asian Swallowtail (Papilio lowii).
This impressive swallowtail is closely related to the classic Great Mormon and is celebrated for its size and striking patterning. Specimens typically show deep blackish wings with a large, bold white to yellowish central area on the hindwings (especially prominent in many forms), intersected by thin black veins. The overall appearance is clean, powerful, and elegant, with the characteristic tailless or short-tailed Mormon silhouette. Females are particularly variable, adding to the species’ visual interest.
Native to Borneo, parts of Indonesia, and the Philippines (notably Palawan and Balabac), this form is a prized island/regional variant within the broader Great Mormon complex.
