Framed Papilio Torquatus

The Torquatus Swallowtail is a fast-flying Neotropical butterfly found from Mexico to Argentina, famous for the striking difference between the sexes. While males sport bold sulfur-yellow and black wings, the females are master mimics, sporting a black-and-pink pattern to look like toxic species and fool predators. You’ll often find them darting through rainforests or gathering at mud puddles to sip essential minerals.
