Maackii Butterfly in a Dome
$84.95
Species Name: Papilio maackii
Common Name: Black Alpine Butterfly
Origin: Southeast Asia
Size: 3.5" Wooden Base x 4.5" high
The Papilio maackii is widely held to be one of the most beautiful butterflies in Japan, covered with thousands of iridescent green or blue scales, the concentration of color in some areas, creates beautiful neon like waves.
Their favorite food is the nectar of mikan trees, and other fruit trees in the mikan family, such as mandarin. They also drink nectar from azaleas.
Like other swallowtail butterflies, the maackii will congregate in large groups. The behavior related to mate selection, where mating partners are decided after an elaborate courtship dance.
The maackii can be found in Central Asia, Japan, China and South Korea.
I carefully displayed it in a small dome to make it look as close to the wildlife, and for you to be able to appreciate any angle of this butterfly.
Small butterfly domes make excellent gifts, they don't take much space and look great on desk or shelve.
