Atrophaneura horishana, the aurora swallowtail, is a species of butterfly from the family Papilionidae that is found in Taiwan.

The wingspan is 110–130 mm. The wings are black. The body has red hairs. There is a large red patch on the underside of each hind wing. The wing veins are bordered in white.

Adults visit flowers. The eggs are yellow and spherical. The larvae have prominent tubercles, a whitish black ground colour and two white bands on the third and fourth abdominal segments. It is in general found at 1000–2500 m in elevation and is only abundant in primary forests.

Graphium eurous, the sixbar swordtail, is a swallowtail butterfly belonging to the genus Graphium, also known as the swordtails.

All the bands are narrowed, being only blackish stripes on a pale yellow transparent ground, the anal area of the hindwing being alone more strongly coloured, bearing a honey-yellow anal spot which is somewhat constricted in the middle; behind this spot there is a blue-centred dot, which represents the anal ocellus.

Papilio Horishanus is from Formosa, the former name for the island of Taiwan.
Papilio Eurous Asakurae is from Formosa, the former name for the island of Taiwan.

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.
