Graphium sarpedon, commonly known as Common Bluebottle is a tailless swallowtail butterfly measuring about 4.0 cm (Kirton, 2014). It can easily be identified by the pale blue-green stripe running from the apex of the forewing to the internal border of the hindwing. It has black upperside and brown underside. There is also some red spotting on the underside of the hindwing. Both sexes are alike except for the scent fold on the hindwing of the male (Corbet & Pendelbury, 1978).
The Common Bluebottle is widely distributed from India to Japan, throughout Southeast Asia, the Papuan region, and parts of Australia. It commonly inhabits forest, the forest edge, and sometimes villages at all elevations (Kirton, 2014).
