Details
While the male goliath birdwing butterfly dazzles us with his
bright neon color wings, the female wows us with her enormous
size.
The female O. goliath is second largest in the world behind only
the Queen alexandra birdwing, whose wingspan can reach an astonishing
12" across.
These butterflies are currently being raised in butterfly farms
by locals in Indonesia.
