Description: | This species is found in The Philippines. It is very widespread and is the most common birdwing butterfly in the country. Unlike many birdwing butterflies, Troides rhadamanthus has persisted in many areas even after the clearance of the forests. It's caterpillars feed on the foliage of Aristolochia plants. This specimen was originally part of the butterfly collection of J.J. Joicey, who had a large collection of birdwing butterflies at his private museum, the Hill Museum, in Surrey.
