Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing (Ornithoptera alexandrae) the Largest Butterfly in the World.
Sponsored Links
Here are pictures of Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing (Ornithoptera alexandrae) the largest butterfly in the world. This species was discovered by Albert Stewart Meek in 1906 from Papua New Guinea. Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing (Ornithoptera alexandrae) is classified in the order of Lepidoptera, family of Papilionidae and genus Ornithoptera. With wingspan of 31 cm (male butterfly can reach 20 cm but more usually about 16 cm), a body length of 8 cm (3.2 inches) and a body mass of up to 12 grams, makes this butterfly the largest butterfly in the world. Female are larger than males with markedly rounder, broader wings.
The female has brown wings with white markings and a cream-coloured body with a small section of red fur on its thorax. Males are smaller than females with brown wings that have iridescent blue and green markings and a bright yellow abdomen. Larvae of this species feed on pipe vines of the genus Parasitolochia (family Aristolochiaceae), including P. dielsiana and P. schlecteri. They feed initially on fresh foliage of the hostplants and ultimately ringbark the vine before pupating. The larva is black with red tubercles and has a cream-colored band or saddle in the middle of its body. Male pupae may be distinguished by a faint charcoal patch on the wing cases; this becomes a band of special scales in the adult butterfly called a sex brand.The adults may live for three months or more and have few predators. The adults are powerful fliers most active in the early morning and again at dusk when they actively feed at flowers.
