Also known as the blue mountain swallowtail and Papilio ulysses; this stunning butterfly is native to Australia and has a wingspan of 14 centimetres. The males sometimes confuse blue objects with females and so are attracted to the colour blue.
This illustration, despite kicking my ass at first, is one of my favourites of late.
