This exquisite insect, with its intricate and vibrant pattern, is an arthropod belonging to the class Invertebrata and the phylum Hexapoda. The Ornithoptera tithonus, native to Papua New Guinea and the surrounding islands, is a swallowtail butterfly, characterized by its long, pointed wings that resemble the tails of birds, hence the name "ornitho-pteron," meaning "bird wing." The female Ornithoptera tithonus displays a captivating underside, adorned with a mesmerizing pattern of yellow, orange, and black spots, arranged in a seemingly random yet harmonious arrangement.
