The Papilio ulysses, commonly known as the Ulysses Butterfly or Blue Mountain Swallowtail, is a striking species in the family Papilionidae, native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and surrounding islands. It is famous for its iridescent blue wings contrasted with black edges, which flash brilliantly in sunlight. Found in tropical rainforests, the Ulysses Butterfly is often seen near flowering plants, where it feeds on nectar. Its larvae primarily feed on trees from the Rutaceae family, such as citrus. This butterfly is an iconic species for ecotourism and conservation efforts due to its beauty and ecological importance.
