A butterfly belonging to the family Papilionidae and genus Papiliopsis. Known for its bright orange wings, it is a common species in parts of Europe and Asia. It usually has an orange or orange red base color, and male and female butterflies have slightly different appearances. Female butterflies are usually more brightly colored, while male butterflies have lighter colors. Larvae mainly feed on plants of the Violaceae family, while adults feed on nectar. Flying at a fast speed, it frequently shuttles between flowers while searching for nectar. The activity time is mainly concentrated from late spring to autumn, especially in sunny weather. Eggs are usually laid on the leaves of plants in the family Violaceae. After hatching, larvae feed on the leaves of the plant and eventually pupate and metamorphose into butterflies
