Birdwing Swallowtail (Birdwing Swallowtail) - Birdwing Swallowtail
A general term for insects of the Ornithoptera genus in the family Papilionidae in the order Lepidoptera. A group of giant butterflies, the English term birdwing butterfly includes the Ornithoptera genus, which will be described later. Its distribution is limited to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Maluku Islands, and northern Australia. The first Ornithoptera was collected by the Englishman John McGillivray with a shotgun around 1885 during an expedition to New Guinea, and was named O. victoriae (Ornithoptera victoria) after the queen who reigned at the time.
