Papilionidae is of the swallowtail butterfly family which consists of at least 550 species.
Many butterflies have different coloring and marks depending upon whether their wings are open or closed and whether viewed from the topside or underside. Males and females frequently are markedly different in coloring and sometimes in size as well.
It is important to know that butterflies and moths appear differently depending upon their manner of display.
