PAPILIONIDAE;

PAPILIONINAE;

LEPTOCIRCINI

(Kite Swallowtails)

Tribe of swallowtail butterflies that includes the genera Arisbe , Graphium  and Lamproptera (Dragon tails). 

​

​The antennae are clothed with scales.  Males, like those of Troidini, have a fold of scent scales on the hind margin of the hindwing.  Some adults have long tails, and the wings of some are zebra-striped.  They flap about a meter above ground with an interesting bobbing flight.  Adults do not migrate.
