Graphium agamemnon, also known as Tailed Jay is a unique butterfly that has a triangular-shaped forewing with a short tail hindwing. The upperside wing is black while the underside is purple-brown, with apple-green spots on both sides. Females are typically larger, and have longer tails than the males. Its wingspan is about 4.5 cm (Kirton, 2014).
The Tailed Jay is widely distributed from India to South China, throughout Southeast Asia, the Papuan region, and North-East Australia. This species commonly inhabit at low elevations in disturbed forest, the forest edge, villages, parks, and gardens (Kirton, 2014).
