Graphium macleayanus

Post by daveuk »

The top picture shows two males I bought from Worldwide Butterflies U.K. in 1994. They sadly have no data but look very like subspecies G m moggana which occurs in the state of Victoria, Tasmania & other localities in southern Australia.
The second picture is of a male of the nominate subspecies I collected in rainforest in Atherton Table Lands Queensland Australia on 4th August 2016. I saw a few on this trip but in keeping with other Graphiums they were extremely difficult to net.
Beautiful to see on the wing.
