While the majority is tropical, member of this butterfly family inhibit every continent except Antartica. The butterfly’s forked appearance when its sitting down with its wings spread out gave rise to its popular name Swallotail. Some of th swallowtails butterflies have a defensive mechanism that inflates its prothorax when in danger, resulting in a thorax that is above the wings, a feature that has been incorported into the free blowing of the butterfly and adds body and volume to the butterfly, not to mention that its a free form blowing feat that few if any other blowers can match. Our butterfly is fully covered in irridescent glitter, its’ all cruelian blue with purplish veinig on one side, and white with blue viens on the other, with gold, orange and black designs and highlights.
