Recently @franzanth.bsky.social commissioned a print of my choice of local invertebrates in Indonesia. 🐡🧪 I chose the Great Mormon Butterfly because I thought its black/white/grey & red colour scheme was so graphic & would make a great print. Interestingly though, they don’t always look like this. 🧵

Beautiful piece and a beautiful insect!

The species is not only dimorphic with different male & female forms but also the females are polymorphic (that is, they come in different forms) & with mimetic forms (mimicking other species). This one is the Female alcanor form (with the swallow tails). 🧵2/3

thank you so much for doing this!!!
