Tailed jay (Graphium agamemnon)

The tailed jay is a predominantly green and black tropical butterfly that belongs to the swallowtail family. It is a common, non-threatened species native to India, Sri Lanka through Southeast Asia and Australia. Strong and restless fliers, they are very active butterflies and flutter their wings constantly even when at flowers. Tailed jays are active throughout the year but their abundance depends upon the local monsoon and availability of the larval host plants.
