Papilio Bachus - 25 x 25cm

The Papilio Bachus is a rare and elegant swallowtail butterfly admired for its graceful shape and refined coloration. With a wingspan of 9 to 11 centimeters, this butterfly combines deep, velvety black tones on the forewings with soft white or pale yellow accents along the edges and hindwings. Its elongated tails — a characteristic feature of swallowtails — add to its striking and majestic appearance, making it a highly valued specimen for collectors.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, particularly in Peru and surrounding regions, the Papilio Bachus thrives in lush, humid environments where it can be observed visiting flowering plants in search of nectar. Its elegant wing pattern serves as both camouflage and display, highlighting its natural beauty in flight.

Each specimen in our collection is unique, with natural variations in size, coloration, and wing markings. The images provided are for reference only, as no two butterflies are ever exactly alike. These differences ensure that every Papilio Bachus is truly one-of-a-kind.

To preserve the delicate beauty and subtle details of the Papilio Bachus, each specimen is carefully mounted behind anti-UV plexiglass. This high-quality material protects against fading and discoloration caused by sunlight, ensuring the butterfly’s beauty remains intact for many years.
