About Papilio peranthus insulicola

Papilio peranthus insulicola is a localised island subspecies of the Banded Peacock, one of the most visually striking swallowtails of the Indonesian archipelago. Distinguished by its vivid iridescent green and blue wing banding set against deep black, insulicola represents the remarkable biogeographic diversity within the peranthus group across the region’s island chains. Its restricted distribution and the species’ exceptional colouration make it a compelling and relatively scarce addition to any serious Papilionidae or Southeast Asian butterfly collection.

Perfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the intricate beauty of the insect world.
