Golden Birdwing

Golden Birdwing (Troides aeacus) VIP.
 
Among the stunning magnificence of tropical day butterflies, the Golden Birdwing stands out for its impressive size and royal combination of black and yellow colors. Its wingspan is truly impressive: the male is 14 cm, and the female is as much as 16 cm, which rightfully allows it to be considered one of the largest Asian day butterflies.
 
In its swift and rapid flight it looks more like a bird, that's is why it received the name "Birdwing". For the expressive, rich yellow contrasting pattern of its lower wings, the Golden Birdwing has come to be associated with the sign of financial well-being that it brings to the home, since gold has always been considered a symbol of wealth. In the homeland of this graceful creature, the Philippines, the Birdwing's reputation as a symbol of financial prosperity has firmly established itself.
 
Its abdomen is also painted bright yellow with black spots. This is a warning to those who want to feast on it. The butterfly caterpillars feed on poisonous vines and accumulate their poison in their bodies, which makes them unsuitable as food for predators.
 
The Golden Birdwing is a special and very elegant gift. It is very symbolic to give this butterfly to a man. After all, it is a wish to attract wealth. Its golden-yellow, translucent and pearlescent back wings shine like the Sun and fill the atmosphere with the energy of light and joy. And this energy is truly felt by the one who holds this charming creature on his hand.
 
The Golden Birdwing will bring joy and happiness to the house where it is released.
