PURPLE SWALLOWTAIL (Graphium weiskeii)
A$50.00
Size of dome 6 cm diameter, 10 cm height.
OMG! This is stunning.
Maybe my top selling butterfly. From New Guinea. In Australia, along the eastern alps, we get the similar Macleay’s Swallowtail, which is greener, and smaller. Look it up. .
The purple swallowtail (Graphium weiskei) is from New Guinea highlands. They are fast fliers. Purple is an uncommon color in butterflies and this is a collectors favorite. I have a very few P. stressmanni left, which is blue instead of purple, from Indo.. Collectors will know this one. I’m not pushing them, since they’re not that easy to get. Price is the same, you just need to message me.
