Description: | This butterfly is native to many areas of South East Asia. It has very distinctive coloured wings due to the combination of a red pigment and the iridescent purple colour produced by tiny ridges in the wing surface. The caterpillars of this species feed on plants in the caper family. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
