Cockrell Butterfly Center Series - 13

Posted by Eric Fry (Houston, TX, United States) on 9 July 2008 in Animal & Insect.

Great Mormon Swallowtail - Papilio memnon - male

This one must have been close to the end of life, it was in this same place and position for over an hour. From tip to tip the wingspan was about 7 inches and was the only one of its kind that I saw.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,
Eric
