}}Battus belus, the Belus swallowtail is a species of butterfly from the family Papilionidae that is found in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru and Venezuela.[1] DescriptionBattus belus is a large Butterfly with a wingspan of 80 to 100 mm. The wings are without a tail. The upperside is black widely suffused with structural green or blue green, with variable white patches and bands. The underside is pearl sheened brown with a submarginal row of small white dots and big red chevrons. The caterpillars are brown marked with black. "Forewing of the male without white spots on the upper surface; hindwing with one to seven white spots on the disc, the first of which is always large; the forewing of the female is similar to that of the male or it has a large pale yellow area. Hindwing beneath in both sexes with white dots outside the red submarginal spots".[2] Subspecies
BiologyBattus belus lives in the Amazon rainforest. The larvae feed on Aristolochia species. "The male is called by Bates a swift and bold flier; the female with yellow area on the forewing he found on flowers at the edge of the forest. The females are much more rarely caught than the males". (Jordan, 1907) DistributionThis species is widespread in the Neotropical ecozone. References1. ^Battus at Funet 2. ^Jordan, K., in Seitz, A.
