Swallowtail Butterfly Art Print

Introducing our stunning Swallowtail Butterfly art print, a captivating depiction of the Papilio polyxenes. This exquisite piece showcases the intricate details and vibrant colours of this iconic butterfly, featuring shades of brown, black, and yellow, bringing a touch of the natural world into your home or office. The Swallowtail butterfly has a unique defence mechanism. When threatened, its caterpillars release a foul-smelling substance called osmeterium from glands located behind their heads. This odour deters predators and helps protect the caterpillar from harm.

These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
