Species: P. demoleus

Morphological characteristics

Eye-catching shape, with black and yellow patterns on the wings, no tail on the hind wings. It is a closely related species of Dharma swallowtail in Africa, but it is larger in size, and the color of the round spots on the rear of the hind wings is darker.

The African Dharma swallowtail has black and yellow markings on its wings and red and blue eye spots. Female butterflies are larger than male butterflies.

The life cycle

The female African Dharma swallowtail lays eggs on citrus leaves and hatches larvae 6 days after laying eggs. Newborn larvae are immature and have black, yellow and white bodies with spines. The color is an effective camouflage, imitating bird droppings. When they reach a length of 10-15 mm they transform into a mature larval form.

Mature larvae are green with white or pink markings and eye spots. They can grow up to 45mm long. At this point, they lose their immature camouflage, but they have a forked and orange-colored organ called a stinky horn that emits a strong scent to scare away predators.

The larvae will hang themselves on branches and weave into pupae. After 2-3 weeks, they will break out of the chrysalis.

edible plants

The larvae feed on Rutaceae citrus and legumes and belong to the ranks of agricultural and forestry pests.

Distribution area
