Here is a picture of the rare female. Nobody knows that this is the female, even the males. Due to this the species is so rare. Hannes Attachments:

Why didn't you translate the page that you showed? It would have explained all your questions. The above picture is of course photoshoped, still a cool one tough.

Yep  btw---there is a subspecies for the Ornithoptera tritonus. It should read Ornithoptera tritonus fraudonus......the ssp. is pronounced "fraud--on--us".  I think there is a ssp. for the O. zephyrus. It is Ornithoptera zephyrus windegon which is pronounced "windy--gone". Translated, the ssp. means 'gone with the wind'.  Seriously, these are creative and kind of pretty. Look at the scratches/imperfections on the left wings, then look on the right wings. I have never ever ever seen such a mirror image of scale imperfections from right to left. A good faker...oops....would have made them with non-mirror-like imperfections. I should not have said that, for surely next time improvement will occur  |

I don't know why people claim "fraud" here, the above pictures have never been intented to do that, if you would have translated the russian text you would know that they are by some russian design guy that claims " I have found out there is an underlying and recurring pattern in butterfly wings " (which is also true btw ) and that he has used this knowledge to produce new pictures with photoshop of butterflies that do not exist but look somewhat real.
The above picture has in my eyes the problem that there is horizontal lines in the forewing pattern which is in my eyes unlikely to ever happen in a birdwing of that species group (the small ones on Simosg avatar ), the hindwings on the picture are on the other hand genuine, you even have shadow on left and right side on the wing, I could not have done that.

Ok, I stand corrected.
Since I don't understand Russian, I wrongly assumed someone was trying to sell it. I did state they were pretty, which they are. Next time I'll wait for someone to translate prior to posting my goofy sci. names stuff. It was all kind of menat to be a joke.

...well actually I wanted to post the picture into the classifieds and check how many people write me just out of curiosity, then your joke would have made perfect sense  |

Nomihoudai is perfectly correct. There was no intent to fraud or to sell. The guys were just fancying - which species could exist. There is a great discussion thread so I'm lazy to read it all Alexei |
