Blue Triangle Butterfly – A Closer View

Featured in The Compact Group, Australian Bush, Australian Wildlife and All Creatures Great and Small

This little fellow was really enjoying his dips in the water at Twin Falls, Cape York Peninsula, Far North Queensland.

Blue Triangle Butterfly (Graphium sarpedon choredon)

Its wings are black to dark brown in colour with a large blue area in the middle. Those blue patterns join to make a triangle, hence the name “The Blue Triangle”.

The underside patterns of their wings are similar, except for the red spots on the hind wings.
