About this Species
Eurytides agesilaus, known as the Agesilaus Swordtail, is a member of the swallowtail family native to South America. It is closely related to the Zebra Swordtail but features much thinner and more delicate black stripes across its pale wings.
The hindwings possess long, thin tails that add to its graceful appearance in flight. Often found in the moist undergrowth of the Amazonian rainforest, it is a specialist in navigating dense vegetation. Its ethereal look makes it a standout piece for any butterfly collection.
At Kukusa, we ensure that every specimen is handled with the precision necessary to keep its delicate structure intact for years to come.
