Papilio ulysses Butterfly Frame original_gift Species Name: Dendrelaphis pictusThis is known in Australia as the Dunk Island Butterfly, a common butterfly in our tropics and in our region of Oceania. Males are so beautiful. The sub species I import are from Indonesia, where they have a breeding or ranching program that ensures the survival of the butterflies.
