Papilio Philoxenus, the common windmill, is the most common member in India of the windmills genus (Byasa), comprising tailed black swallowtail butterflies with white spots and red submarginal crescents.

 

Prioneris thestylis, the spotted sawtooth, is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, that is, the yellows and whites, which is found in India and Southeast Asia.


  • Papilio Philoxenus is from Indo-Australia, also known as Pakistan. 
  • Prioneris Thestylis is from India.
We are unsure of the exact date these butterflies were framed, but based on the location names and their history, it could be anywhere from the 1940's to 1965...but most likely in the 1950's.
