Description
The framed blue mountain swallowtail with its bright blue and black wings, it is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it.
Also native to a portion of northeastern Australia, this exquisite species is used as an emblem for Australian tourism. The study of this vibrant butterfly allowed Victorian naturalist Alfred Wallace to develop his own theory of evolution, which competed with Charles Darwin’s more famous theory.
