Description
“Papilio pericles is one of the more brilliantly adorned of the gloss swallowtails. Though more diminutive than some of its Papilio cousins, pericles makes up in color what it lacks in size.
The hue of pericles is unique among gloss swallowtails. Whereas most Gloss Swallowtails are primarily green or blue, the uniquely bluish teal of Pericles make it one of the most elegant of the swallowtails.”
