Also known as the peacock swallowtail, Papilio blumei is native to Indonesia. The iridescent green coloration is not produced by pigments, but is produced by the structure of the scales on the surface of the wing. They refract light and give us blue and yellow reflections, which is perceived by our eyes as being green.
