Common Birdwing
Troides helena ON EXHIBIT: The Butterfly Garden in Ocean Journey
FUN FACTS
The common birdwing is one of the largest and most beautiful butterflies in Asia. The dramatic contrast of golden yellow hind-wings and glossy black forewings gives this species a striking appearance and serves as a protection mechanism by warning potential predators that it is distasteful. The common birdwing is protected in Hong Kong and Indonesia.
