About this Species
Eurytides pausanias, commonly known as the Pausanias Swordtail, is a large and impressive butterfly of the Papilionidae family. It is found throughout South America, but it is particularly common in the lowland forests of Peru.
This species is characterized by its primarily black wings with broad, diagonally arranged creamy-yellow bands on both the fore and hindwings. It exhibits the classic swallowtail tails that define this group. Its appearance is a very clean and symmetrical design that makes it a favorite in many scientific and aesthetic collections.
Habitat
Deep jungle and tropical rainforests, particularly common in Loreto, San Martín, and Junín in Peru.
