todays lepidopteran of the day is the emerald swallowtail (Papilio palinurus)!

this beautiful butterfly, which comes from southeast asia, seems to shift color in the light due to special microstructures in its wings.

Found in Southeast Asia, this butterfly gets its striking green colour from its scales which are arranged to reflect light in a certain way. This causes it to appear blue in certain lighting.

I really liked this song!

The guitar notes are yellow circles. The whistling is a fluid white shape with blue edges. The singer's voice is gray that fades into white at the bottom. The beat in the background is yellow and slightly hazy looking.
