Hi everyone's!

Butterflies are one species of insect that has many types from different sizes to the shape and pattern, the point in this species has a total diversity in any aspect, but only one that in themselves there is an attraction for humans.

So that its presence in each human environment becomes a special attraction for them, then another interesting thing about the butterfly is different behavior among each type.

The butterfly contained in this post is a species that has rarely been seen so far, but in recent months since the earth rested when humans did the Lockdown at home, then this one type has been seen again in the human environment.


Apollo butterflies

In general, it can be said that what is meant by a butterfly is one of the species of insects that are included in the ordo Lepidoptera or some experts say as winged and scaly insects that have a variety of colors and patterns. One of the things that is interesting and even liked by everyone is that the Butterfly itself has a beautiful and diverse bright color that is famous for its wings

Then from the results of research that has been obtained accurately information that butterflies are diurnal animals or animals that are active during the day, the purpose of diurnal is that every butterfly always performs daily activities during the daytime, when entering their night time will rest. If you see one of the butterflies doing activities at night it means that it is a species called the Moth. But unfortunately their age is very short which is different from the age of other animals belonging to one Order because the butterflies themselves can live for a week or half a month depending on the butterfly species itself, if the butterfly is ordinary then its age is only one week but if the butterfly comes from a species that is rarely found, it means it can live within a month.


Apollo butterfly is one of the butterflies that rarely get along with ordinary butterflies in general, he always lives alone from any other butterfly herd, he will always choose a place rarely passed by others. Existing butterflies are apollo butterflies that have recently been seen back in areas or locations far from other herds of insects.

When looking at the patterns found in the apollo butterfly it certainly has a striking difference from other species. It has a bright color with spots on its wings. There are black and sometimes red spots under the wings of the Apollo butterfly itself.

Whereas her body shape resembles the butterfly species in general, it also has,

  1. Two pairs of antennas measuring 2.5 inches
  2. Have a thorax
  3. Two pairs of legs are located on the lower side of the stomach
  4. Two large wings and two small support wings
  5. Has a perfect metamorphosis.

Most apollo butterflies always breed in enclosed areas that are far from being attacked by predators such as birds and other animals that often hunt them. Passive behavior is a male species while females always move where there are small flowers as their daily routine.

Basically not much is known about their daily characteristics but what has been explained in the explanation above is a routine thing that is done by every apollo butterfly.

Apollo butterflies only have two types, one is the butterfly in the picture in this post while the other is very rarely found because it is considered rare. The species itself is larger in size with a kelabu or gray color that has black and red spots with round lines on the sides of its wings.

Thus a brief description of the Apollo butterfly that is often encountered in the Aceh region of Indonesia. Hopefull it is useful for all of us. Thank you very much.
