I like the codrus group and all, but my favorite is G. idaeoides. To think that a papilio could so closely mimic the distasteful Idea butterfly so well is mind-boggling. I know this happens with many many butterflies, but the size and beauty of this one is awesome. Many Papilios mimic Danaiids, but this one 'takes the cake' for me.Attachments:

Graphium Idaeoides is a very nice graphium i agree with you Bill, also like the female Jordani, an excellent Idea mimic also.

Yes, I've seen them. I have to keep myself from looking at them to prevent myself from having anxiety about it. |
