[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Cairns Birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus) is the largest butterfly in Australia with a wingspan of over 16 cm (6 ½ inches). The upper wings of the males are black with emerald green steaks across the length of the pointed wing. The female lacks the green but makes up for it with her greater size. Both sexes have yellow bodies with a bright red thorax (the body part just behind the head).

Residents who plant the native rainforest vine Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia tagala) in their garden will encourage regular visits by this impressive butterfly. However, beware of the exotic Dutchman's Pipe (Aristolochia elegans) which is poisonous to the Cairns Birdwing.
