Graphium angolanus is a medium to large sized butterfly that is endemic to sub Saharan Africa and is on wing year round, with the peak flight times being in November and February.
   They are primarily an inhabitant of savannah, acacia scrub and dry open woodland, but can be seen in smaller numbers along logging roads and in open sunny clearings in the rainforests.
   Males are seen on wing far more frequently than females and are often encountered in groups of 5 or 6 individuals, taking mineralized moisture from muddy tracks and forest roads (puddling).                     Sometimes they are found in much larger numbers when small swarms of migrants gather at damp patches of ground, or at clumps of Tridax flowers.
