Papilio paris is a large butterfly known for its agile flight and often seen fluttering around flowering plants.
   Males are particularly territorial and may engage in display behaviors to ward off competitors.                 Additionally, the butterfly is considered an important pollinator within its ecosystem.
   They are primarily found in a variety of forested habitats, including tropical and subtropical forests.       Their range extends through parts of Southeast Asia, including regions of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and southern parts of India.
   They tend to inhabit areas with ample vegetation, as these provide essential food sources and breeding grounds.
   Wings are black to dark brown with scattered golden green scales.
   The forewings have small golden green spots on the sub outer margins; the underside is black on the basal half, with the distal half being lighter in color.     The hindwings have a large golden-blue spot on the front and mid wings, with a golden green line extending from the ventral side to the hind margin.         There is a pink crescent shaped spot at the anal corner.
  The ventral side has red bird shaped spots on the sub outer margins, with no large golden blue spot in the middle.
   The female's wings resemble the male's but are dark brown.
   They exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males and females displaying differing color patterns.                   Generally, the females are larger than the males.
   Conservation statuses vary based on the region.       Habitat loss due to deforestation and urbanization poses a threat to Papilio paris populations.                   Conservation efforts focusing on habitat preservation are essential for maintaining healthy populations of this and other butterfly species.
