Kitsune swallowtail (SciiFii)

The kitsune swallowtail (Bhutanitis communis) is a species of swallowtail butterfly of the family Papilionidae that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, swamps, forests, and open woodlands across mainland Eurasia, Japan, and North America to help boost biodiversity. The sexes of the kitsune swallowtail are identical in appearance, having long rounded forewings with convex termen and many-tailed hindwings, hence its name, being almost identical in size and appearance to the Asia-exclusive Bhutan glory (Bhutanitis lidderdalii). As a large butterfly, the kitsune swallowtail has a wingspan that usually measures about 90–110 millimetres across on average. The kitsune swallowtail larvae feeds on a wide range of available leafy vegetation, while the adults feed on nectar of a wide variety of plants. The conservation status of the kitsune swallowtail is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the kitsune swallowtail's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
