The Heraclides Thoas, also known as the King Swallowtail or Thoas Swallowtail (Papilio thoas), is a striking butterfly found in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. With its bold patterns and graceful flight, this butterfly is a living work of art that enchants anyone lucky enough to spot it.

This butterfly thrives in diverse habitats, from rainforests and savannas to gardens and open fields. Adults are strong fliers, often seen gliding through sunny clearings or visiting flowers for nectar. They play a crucial ecological role as pollinators, particularly for tropical plants.

The caterpillar, equally fascinating, resembles bird droppings in its early stages—a clever camouflage to deter predators. As it matures, it transforms into a plumper, green form with eyespots that mimic a snake's head, offering additional protection.

It's a striking butterfly and a perfect addition to any collection
