[family] Papilionidae, . . . . . . . { [subfamily] Papilioninae, [genus] Troides, [species] rhadamantus. }
Scientific Name: Troides rhadamantus (also rhadamanthus)
Common Name: Golden Birdwing
-—› Troides rhadamantus inhabits the Philippines and is that country's most common birdwing. Its flight is high above ground in warm
gullies and creeks, but the species do frequently visit lower flowers such as the Lantana. Considerable geographical variations exist in
this species within the Philippines, perhaps not very surprising considering the great number of islands that comprise the Philippines.
