Males display vivid black and green wings, while females are typically larger, with brown and cream patterns. Both sexes exhibit vibrant yellow markings on their hindwings.\nThe species thrives in tropical forests, often found at the forest edges and lowland regions. Rippon’s Birdwing belongs to the Papilionidae family, renowned for its large size and majestic flight.\nThe butterfly is named after the British entomologist Robert Henry Fernando Rippon, who specialized in birdwing butterflies. The genus name “Troides” stems from the Greek word “Troius,” referring to the region of Troy, though its relevance to the butterfly is unclear.\nA curiosity about this species is its role in butterfly farming programs in Indonesia, where it's raised sustainably to support local economies while protecting its natural habitat.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\nPlease take into consideration that the specimen that you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
