Butterfly Rainforest Moment: Large striped swordtail

Spend a moment in our Butterfly Rainforest with Ryan talking about the Large striped swordtail butterfly, Graphium antheus, native to Africa. These are larger butterflies with more distinct tails on their hind wings than some cousins.

Like the Tailed jay, you'll find these swordtail butterflies fluttering their wings in the exhibit as they feed, or basking in the sunlight.
