Papilio demoleus is a common and widespread swallowtail butterfly. The butterfly is also known as the lime butterfly, lemon butterfly, lime swallowtail, and checkered swallowtail. These common names refer to their host plants, which are usually citrus species such as the cultivated lime. Unlike most swallowtail butterflies, it does not have a prominent tail. The butterfly is a pest and invasive species, found from Asia to Australia.

  • Papilio Demoleus is from Burma, which changed its name from Burma to Myanmar in 1989.
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.
